The Government has been very clear that as we leave the EU we will not do anything that threatens the constitutional and economic integrity of the United Kingdom’s internal market.

We have agreed with the EU that the Common Travel Area, which has served us well long before we joined the EU, will continue to operate once we leave the EU.
