Government cannot simply close the route as it is not a loophole or a scam it is part and parcel of EU free movement.Saga wrote:Is the government thinking of closing the SS route?
Can anyone share any news on this please?

Firstly, the above has not been publicised as a key demand of the UK government in the negotiations.itsmanu wrote:Say on 19th February EU member states and UK comes to some sort of an agreement and they agree to one of the demand made by UK

Secondly, the odds of getting a unanimous agreement among the 28 member states of the EU on something as central as free movement by February are fairly slim. I believe that it is this process that Casa is referring to as taking years to complete. Correct
But, in the unlikely event that both events listed above occur, I would argue that the UK government can change the law within the space of weeks, given that the agreement of all other 27 member states means that the Treaties will be modified sooner rather than later. Indeed, I imagine that draft legislation has already been prepared and is only awaiting the Minister's signature and possibly a 40 day delay for Parliament to reflect on the new law.
