Philip Hammond said that he wanted to avoid a “cliff-edge” where goods and people stopped being able to move across Britain’s borders when it leaves the European Union in March 2019.
Hammond added that EU nationals would continue to be able to work in Britain immediately after its exit from the EU, and changes to rules affecting relations with the EU could be phased in gradually over the transition period, which should be complete by the next scheduled parliamentary election in 2022.
