”The channel will not get any wider once we leave the European Union and that is the relationship we should seek. London, July 13 (Reuters): Outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron urged his successor Theresa May to position Britain as close to the European Union as possible, in his final weekly question session in parliament. ”My advice to my successor, who is a brilliant negotiator, is that we should try to be as close to the European Union as we can be for the benefits of trade, cooperation and of security,” he said. Cameron said the government is working hard to make sure EU citizens can stay in Britain following its vote to leave the bloc but it will depend on reciprocal rights for Britons in Europe. Cameron is due to hand over to May later on Wednesday after Britons ignored his wishes and voted to leave the 28-member bloc in last month's referendum.
