- His proposals include youth mobility and lower trade barriers.
- Brussels may allow six months to agree student fee terms.

## Summary

Sadiq Khan has urged Prime Minister Andy Burnham to use next month’s EU summit to agree measures that could begin reversing the effects of Brexit. Khan says closer ties on trade and movement would boost the economy and form steps towards his stated goal of rejoining the EU, a proposal that could reopen divisions within Labour.

In a letter to Europe minister Hamish Falconer, Khan called for a youth mobility scheme, agreements on food and drink standards, touring musicians, school-trip identity cards and recognition of some professional qualifications. Burnham has supported reducing trade barriers and called for discussion of the UK’s long-term relationship with the EU, while some Labour MPs have expressed concern. Reports say Brussels may give the UK six months to reach agreement on student fees rather than demand a deal at the summit on 20 November.
