MAY: G20 ALLIES EXPRESS INTEREST IN NEW TRADE DEALS

UK Prime Minister Theresa May says several countries have expressed an interest in signing free trade deals with Britain following its vote to leave the European Union.

Speaking at the G20 summit in China she named India, Mexico, South Korea, Singapore and Australia as nations with which she discussed new arrangements.

However, Mrs May has rejected an Australian-style points-based immigration system for the UK post-Brexit.

This will put her on a collision course with some members of her own cabinet who campaigned for such a system ahead of the EU referendum.

Theresa May says immigration control will need to be balanced with the need to strike a favourable trade deal with the EU.
