Post-Brexit staff travel and working arrangements are being reviewed by 163 of financial companies, according to EY, which said firms should complete immigration plans for all potential outcomes. It also said the firms needed to prepare for a no-deal departure. The firm said only 8% of financial firms responding to its survey expected Brexit on 31 October, with 3% forecasting a deal and 8% a no-deal exit. Among the almost two-thirds firms surveyed, 45% said a new deal would improve cross-border access and 12% said there would be no special access to the markets of member states after Brexit.
