London is hoping that the creation of a specific work permit for the city will help avoid the flight of businesses in the aftermath of the UK’s departure from the European Union. Furthermore, the country’s prime minister Teresa May announced on Sunday that she planned to pass a ‘great repeal bill’ which would put an end to European authority over British law and integrate EU legal provisions — at least those that MPs want to preserve — into national law.
Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, does not want Brexit to cause companies and employees to flee the capital. He thus told the press that he is currently “working on a model that will ensure we can carry on recruiting and attracting talent”. For now, no details have been given on what the media is describing as a special work permit for the UK capital. Should it be created, it would mark a first. With 56% of Londoners voting against Brexit in June, the city is keen to maintain ties with the bloc.
