London’s labour and laws after Brexit

A Brexit puzzle
Created on
29 October 2019

According to research, 50 per cent of London employers say that leaving the EU will have an impact on access to skilled workers [1].

How will this affect the London labour market and employers, especially the health and care sector?

There are also now new requirements for EU Citizens to obtain leave to remain in the UK. What impact will these have?

Tomorrow, the London Assembly EU Exit Working Group will explore and provide new insight into a post Brexit London.

The guests are:

Panel 1

  • Joe Owen, Programme Director, Institute for Government

Panel 2

  • Alison Hunter, Partner (Wesley Gryk Solictors), Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association
  • Kasia Zagrodniczek, Immigration Programme Manager, East European Resource Centre
  • Luke Piper, Solicitor, the3million

Panel 3

  • Tony Wilson, Director, Institute for Economic Studies
  • Charlotte Rogers, International Policy Manager, Royal College of Nursing
  • Caroline Waterfield, Assistant Director, NHS Employers
  • Ian Robinson, Partner, Fragomen LLP

The meeting will take place on Wednesday 30 October from 2.00pm in The Chamber (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).

Media and members of the public are invited to attend

The meeting can also be viewed LIVE or later via webcast or YouTube
