The first is for foreign businesses looking to expand their footprint in the UK, working with them so that they can bring in talent as they expand their footprint.
Second, for UK businesses in our industrial strategy sectors, which includes financial services, business services, creative industries, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, defence, etc.,
For those businesses, if they are bringing in talent from overseas into the UK, the fees for those visas will be waived.
And then the third announcement today is that for really great talent looking to come to UK universities,
Again, we'll waive those visas as well as a specific scheme for people, gold medalists in the Maths Olympiad, offering a number of scholarships to UK universities for those people.
Because we want Britain to be a magnet for global talent in the same way we want it to be the best place in the world to trade from and to invest in.
No, it was very clear in our manifesto that we wouldn't be rejoining the single market, the customs union, or bringing back free movement of labour.

We also have agreements in principle from last May around the UK doing a food and farming deal to reduce barriers to trade at the border, around electricity trading and energy trading, as well as some form of youth mobility within the European Union and the United Kingdom.

You know, at these sort of times when others are putting up barriers to trade, what Britain is arguing for, and what I believe in strongly, is that those of us who believe in free and fair trade should practice what we preach and reduce barriers between ourselves.
That goes to the UK, the EU, Canada, and other allies around the world.
And we are determined...
to lead from the front in that.
We've already secured trade deals with countries around the world.
We want to do more in the months to come.
We can't go back in time.
