Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will hold discussions with his EU counterparts on creating a youth mobility scheme.
Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office
The Prime Minister and the president of the European Commission met in Brussels on 2 October and agreed to strengthen the relationship between the EU and the UK, putting it on a more solid, stable footing.
We are committed to finding constructive ways to work together and deliver for the British people.
We are not going to give a running commentary on youth mobility. We will obviously look at EU proposals on a range of issues, but there are no plans for a Youth Mobility Scheme, and we will not return to freedom of movement.
