In Parliament, Huw continued to share his love of Arsenal with the Speaker and asked the Home Secretary to ensure that Britain would continue to attract young talent from Europe to play in the Premier League after Britain’s exit from the EU.

The Home Secretary said talent was at the heart of the new immigration system set out in the White Paper; “it is all about making sure that we are open to talent in all sectors,” he said, “and doing our best to make sure that they want to come to Britain.”
