The British Prime Minister is open to restoring the free movement of people between the UK and Europe Xinhua News Agency, London, October 24 (Reporter Zhao Jiasong) According to the British "Sunday Times" report on the 24th, British Prime Minister Burnham said that the UK should hold an "open discussion" on the possibility of restoring the free movement of personnel with the European Union to explore different options for strengthening the relationship between the UK and the European Union. In an interview with the newspaper, Burnham said that the immigration situation was different before and after Brexit. In the past, many immigrants from EU countries would return to their countries of origin after working and living in the UK for several years. Now more foreign immigrants choose to settle in the UK for a long period. After Brexit, the UK lost access to some EU border traffic databases. But Burnham ruled out Britain joining the Schengen area. On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom held a "Brexit" referendum. Public opinion believed that opposition to the free movement of people within the EU was an important reason why British voters supported Brexit.
