The U.K. cabinet will accept the free movement of European Union citizens for up to four years after Brexit as part of a transitional deal, the Guardian reported in its Friday edition, citing an unidentified senior member of the cabinet.
Those seeking to soften Brexit within Prime Minister Theresa May’s top team are confident they’ve secured consensus in the cabinet around a transition deal, the newspaper reported. That deal -- which could retain free movement rules -- may last as long as four years, but was more likely to last for three, the paper cited the cabinet member as saying.
