英国首相安迪·伯纳姆表示希望就英国与欧盟恢复人员流动自由的可能性与公众进行"诚实讨论"，作为重塑英欧关系计划的组成部分。1在接受《星期日泰晤士报》采访时，伯纳姆强调需要进行"非常实际、相当以证据为基础的辩论"。1尽管他认可人员流动存在"重大挑战"，但主张任何讨论应基于事实而非情感。1
伯纳姆计划在11月20日的布鲁塞尔峰会上与欧盟领导人会面，推进这一议题。1不过他坦言，任何根本性改变可能需要等到2029年大选之后才能实现。1
就背景而言，英国脱欧前2016年6月的净移民数为335,000人。1脱欧后这一数字在2023年3月飙升至944,000人的历史高位，去年则下降至171,000人，约为脱欧前水平的一半。1工党在2024年选举宣言中承诺排除人员流动自由、单一市场成员或关税同盟。1
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has called for an evidence-based public debate on the possibility of restoring freedom of movement between Britain and the European Union as part of efforts to reshape UK-EU relations.1 In an interview with the Sunday Times, Burnham stated: "I think you have to have a very factual, quite evidence-based debate about this."1 He acknowledged that such a shift would present "significant challenges," but emphasized the need for rational discussion grounded in facts rather than ideology.1
Burnham is scheduled to meet with EU leaders at a Brussels summit on November 20 to explore options for reshaping the bilateral relationship.1 However, he cautioned that any fundamental change to freedom of movement rules may not be feasible until after the 2029 general election.1 This stance reflects the Labour Party's 2024 election manifesto, which explicitly ruled out freedom of movement, single market membership, or a customs union.1
The discussion comes against the backdrop of significant fluctuations in UK net migration figures. Net migration stood at 335,000 in June 2016 before Brexit, surged to a historic high of 944,000 in March 2023 following Britain's departure from the EU, and subsequently fell to 171,000 last year—approximately half the pre-Brexit level.1
