The House of Lords European Affairs Committee has called for a UK-EU relations “reset”, including a shake up of the current student mobility landscape.
In its new report, The future UK-EU relationship, the committee uses evidence from stakeholders to examine the overarching state of the post-Brexit relationship between the UK and EU, delving into themes including mobility of people and the overall political, diplomatic and institutional relationship between the UK and the EU.
“The UK’s post-Brexit relationship with the EU has regrettably come under significant strain over the period since the Trade and Cooperation Agreement came into force, characterised by tension and mistrust,” said Lord Kinnoull, chair of the committee.
“A particular theme running through our Future UK-EU Relationship report evidence was the significant impact of post-Brexit barriers to mobility young workers and professionals in the early stages of their careers, emerging artists, as well as students across different educational levels,” added Kinnoull.
