The Prime Minister has been unambiguous on that point, and that is not up for debate.
Baroness Butler-Sloss (CB)
My Lords, do the Government support the free movement of young people between Europe and the UK?
Baroness Twycross (Lab)
The UK has no plans for an EU-wide youth mobility scheme. There will be no return to freedom of movement, and that includes in relation to school trips. Although the UK recognises the deep importance of cultural and educational exchanges between the UK and other nations, any discussions and decisions relating to our policy on school trip travel have to be made with due regard to the proper functioning of our immigration system.
