What will happen to immigration when Britain leaves the EU?

Eurosceptics say Brexit will allow Britain to take back control of its borders in order to curb immigration and increase security. 

Britain will no longer have to accept ‘free movement of people’ from Europe, which Brexiteers say puts pressure on public services such as the NHS and schools.

Brexit campaigners have said that Britain will be free to impose an ‘Australian-style points system’ to better manage immigration and fill skill shortages here. 

But the Remain campaign believes that Brexit will hit the British economy, which relies on the free movement of EU migrant workers such as health professionals.
