Citing a government source, The Times reports a reciprocal deal on youth mobility could be offered as a key olive branch to the EU following Brexit.

The paper said the new UK government had no plans to agree free movement of people generally, but could allow EU nationals under 30 to work in the UK for up to three years, with identical rights given to UK citizens wanting to work in Europe – something Abta has long advocated for.
