I thank the Member for giving way. Does he share my sadness that UK citizens will now be only able to live and work in two countries—the UK and the Republic of Ireland—whereas EU citizens will be able to work in 28 countries and Irish citizens will be able to work in 29 countries, such as my wife and two children? And isn't it sad to see that, and isn't it the case that, in fact, those citizens who will lose out the most from the ending of freedom of movement are actually UK citizens?
