Britain's new Brexit minister said today that new European Union citizens arriving in Britain as Brexit nears may not have their right to remain in the country protected.
"We may have to say that the right to indefinite leave to remain protection only applies before a certain date. But you have to make those judgments on reality not speculation," David Davis was quoted as saying by the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
