Abstract
This article looks at some of the implications of Brexit for free movement of persons
within the European Union, for both UK citizens and those from other EU Member
States. It begins by briefly outlining the principle of free movement of persons, one of
the four ‘fundamental freedoms’ set out in the EU Treaties since the Union’s
foundation. The next section looks at the reasons why free movement of persons
became such a fundamental issue in the UK referendum on EU membership,
focusing on the issues of jobs, labour standards and welfare. The article goes on to
consider possible alternatives for the UK’s relationship with the EU, post-Brexit,
in terms of free movement of person rights. In the concluding section, the article
considers the future of free movement of person rights within the EU itself.
