Bruce Potter, chairman of Blake Morgan, which has an office in Portsmouth, said: ‘Businesses need to consider now how they will be impacted in the event that employment restrictions are put in place.
‘For example, will their ability to recruit staff be affected? Specifically, employers should look at the number of European Economic Area (EEA) staff they employ and the roles in which they work.

‘Employers will need to ensure that they are not discriminating against EEA workers when implementing such measures.’
