The Immigration Minister today said Britain would leave the EU free movement rules in 2019 but refused to say whether it would actually cut the number of new arrivals. Brandon Lewis said the Government remained committed to cutting net migration to the tens of thousands but would not place a timescale on the target.

Ms Rudd today insisted Britain would remain open to skilled EU citizens after Brexit amid fears the referendum vote will do little to cut immigration .
