Britains leading employers group has accepted that Prime Minister Theresa May would need to impose controls on EU citizens working in the U.K. after Brexit, but new immigration rules must not stop companies from hiring staff. The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) noted that a careful balance needs to be struck, and that compulsory registration of EU citizens who enter the U.K. which has not been required until now would be an important step towards immigration control and public trust. In response, the government said it was considering a range of options to control its borders while continuing to attract and retain workers who benefit Britain.
