Britain announces a new fast-track visa scheme for top scientists, researchers and mathematicians as it prepares a new immigration system for life outside the EU
Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson delivers his keynote speech to delegates on the final day of the annual Conservative Party conference at the Manchester Central convention complex, in Manchester, north-west England on October 2, 2019.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed the plan just days before Brexit finally takes place on January 31. But he said on Sunday: "As we leave the EU, I want to send a message that the UK is open to the most talented minds in the world, and stand ready to support them to turn their ideas into reality."
The government hopes to introduce a new points-based immigration system on January 1, 2021, for EU and non-EU citizens, but the details are still being worked out.
