The Secretary of State meets regularly with Ministerial counterparts from other EU Member States and with individuals in the EU institutions to discuss a wide range of policy issues linked to our exit from the EU, including migration and mobility.

During the implementation period, EU citizens will be able to come to live and work in the UK as they do now. This will also be the case for UK nationals travelling or working in the EU during this period, including British musicians.

No decisions have been made yet on the immigration rules that will apply after the end of the implementation period. The Prime Minister has made it clear that the Government is open to discussing with the EU how to facilitate the valuable links between our people.
