- Theresa May should replace free movement after Brexit with a new immigration system which scraps the government's long-held target to reduce immigration below 100,000, according to the CBI.
- The "open and controlled" immigration scheme would also introduce compulsory registration for EU citizens and restrict their ability to remain to three months unless they are self-sufficient.
- "The building blocks of a successful new migration system for the UK begin with an honest and open debate that has been absent from politics. The stakes couldn’t be higher," said the CBI.
- The government is due to publish a white paper on post-Brexit immigration this Autumn.
