Contribution

My Lords, does the Minister recognise that one of the great benefits to British businesses and to young people for their employment opportunities was that they had great flexibility in working with our main trading partners in the European Union? Does the Minister see the Government’s reset Bill that we are likely to see in a new Session as a good opportunity to allow youth mobility with our key trading partners? Does he regret slightly that the Government may have said that that was a red line? Might they be a little more flexible for the benefits of our young people and our businesses?
