Brexit Secretary, David Davis has told that EU migrants who
came into the UK between now and a day before the EU referendum may be denied
the right to have indefinite stay in Britain. But said, this may only happen,
if there was a “surge” in new arrivals.
According to Davis, the UK is looking to secure a “generous
settlement” for EU migrants living in Britain and British citizens living in
Europe.
He however said that setting a date now may be too early,
and lead to a rush of people coming to Britain prior to any deadline- and any
measures had to be in line with EU law.
He told Sky’s Murnaghan programme: "If we make a very
generous settlement as I'd like to do, then people are going to say, 'Oh but
then that'll attract lots more people in because they want to beat the
deadline'.
"And so what I've said is, let's deal with that issue
when we come to it.
"One way of dealing with it could be saying 'OK, only
people who arrived before a certain date get this protection' - there are other
ways too.
"But we've got to do it within the law as it stands
because at that point we'll still be within the European Union."
