Hammond, who campaigned against Brexit in the 2016 referendum, told business leaders (and the BBC in a subsequent interview ) that EU citizens would still be able to come to the UK after Brexit. Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond has advocated a Brexit transition deal. That has infuriated two leading proponents of Brexit, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and International Trade Secretary Liam Fox.

In an attempt to defuse the spat, May's spokesman insisted that free movement will end in March 2019.
