The industry’s concerns were shared at a session of the UK Trade and Business Commission on Thursday (18 November), at which industry leaders renewed their plea to the UK government to agree a new Youth Mobility Visa arrangement with Britain’s European neighbours now the provisions enshrined in the EU Posted Workers Directive no longer apply to young Brits looking to work overseas.


Other worries, said Best for Britain, include higher holiday prices and an increase in costly red tape.
