deadline floods: They didn't seek this circumstance -- we did.'' British Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union David Davis arrives at the Treasury in central London on July 14, 2016 on the first full day in his new role following his appointment by new prime minister Theresa May, according to Huffington Post Canada. But he said if a surge of new immigrants trying to "beat the deadline'' floods into Britain before it leaves the EU, the Conservative government may have to set a cutoff date. "We may have to say that the right to indefinite leave to remain protection only applies before a certain date,'' Davis said in a separate interview with the Mail on Sunday newspaper. "You have to make those judgments on reality, not speculation.'' A desire to reduce immigration from other EU nations was a key reason many Britons voted last month to leave the EU.

Brexit Secretary David Davis dismissed suggestions that the estimated 3 million EU nationals now living in Britain might be forced to leave, telling Sky News that "I want to see a generous settlement for the people here already. Prime Minister Theresa May has been criticized for refusing to guarantee the right of EU citizens to remain in the U.K. after its EU exit -- something that is more than two years away. Britain vote to leave the EU has unleashed political and economic turmoil, as people and markets absorb the uncertainties about the country economic future as it leaves the 28-nation single market of 500 million people. She says she needs to ensure that hundreds of thousands of Britons living in other EU countries get the same protection.
