On a related matter, which includes education and employment of engineers in particular, the
following has just been published

It's been widely consulted. I am afraid I was rather dismissive during the consultation. I see
relatively free movement of engineers and academics in engineering (from anywhere) as a big plus for
engineering in general and British engineering in particular, and most potential intra-European
restrictions as a minus, and rather thought that a wide consultation and a 30pp document was about
29 pages too long.

I think there are issues around intellectual property, industrial espionage and borderline
espionage, which need to be considered. But I believe those need to be considered as they stand and
that they are not specifically connected with Brexit.
