Burnham opens debate on EU free movement, newspaper reports

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has left open the possibility of readopting EU free-movement rules, Reuters reported on 25 October, citing a Sunday Times interview.

Burnham called for an evidence-based debate and said remaining outside free movement would not be a red line for talks, according to the newspaper. The remarks do not establish that Britain has changed its immigration rules or concluded an agreement with the EU.
