Britain Won’t Agree to Future EU Budget Contributions, ITV Says

Britain will seek discretionary control over immigration and lawmaking and reject compulsory contributions to the European Union budget when negotiating its future relationship with the bloc, ITV reported, citing an unidentified government official.

Those conditions make it unlikely that Britain will be able to remain a full member of the single market, ITV’s political editor Robert Peston said in a public post on Facebook. Brexit Minister David Davis is instead working on an agreement modeled on the deal the EU is close to completing with Canada, with an additional section to cover Britain’s services sector, Peston said.
