Summary of bills in the Queen’s Speech:

BREXIT

Withdrawal agreement bill

Central to the Queen’s Speech is the commitment to implement a Brexit deal if one is reached with the EU. The government will also unveil legislation needed to prepare the UK economy for the period after the end of the transition period when the country is no longer in the EU customs union and single market.

Immigration bill

This would end free movement after Brexit and introduce an Australian style points-based immigration system in 2021. This would prioritise high skilled immigration to the UK and support sectors of the economy where there were specific skill shortages.

EU citizens arriving after January 2021 would be subject to the same immigration controls as non-EU citizens.
