The immigration bill would establish new rules for EU migrants to the UK after free movement ends。
脫歐後新的移民法案將會針對歐盟人士進入英國建立壹個新的系統。
An official policy document had been expected last autumn and the Times reports a “cabinet row” over delays。
針對此法案的壹份官方文件本應該於去年秋季發布,但是由於效率低下的內閣程序,被嚴重滯後。
The PM‘s spokesman said ministers were “confident” the new system would be ready “for when we leave the EU”。
首相發言人稱,首相對於脫歐時新移民系統的準備工作非常有信心。
The immigration bill was in last year‘s Queen’s Speech – it would enable the government to end the free movement of EU nationals into the UK but ministers said it would allow the country to attract “the brightest and the best”。
Last October, then immigration minister Brandon Lewis said a White Paper would be published in autumn 2017 with the bill being brought forward “in the New Year”。
In February, the home affairs committee noted there was still “considerable uncertainty about when the White Paper will be published” and said the delays had caused “anxiety for EU citizens in the UK, uncertainty for UK businesses and concern in Parliament”。
The Times reported on Friday that Brexit-supporting ministers were putting pressure on Home Secretary Amber Rudd to speed up the bill, amid concerns ministers want to use preferential access for EU workers as a bargaining chip with Brussels in Brexit talks。
Asked about the report, the prime minister‘s spokesman said: “We’re considering a range of options for the future immigration system which will be based on the evidence。“
“We will set out initial plans and publish a White Paper in the coming months with a bill to follow。”
“我們將制定初步計劃,並在接下來的幾個月內發布白皮書,並提交法案。”
Ms Rudd told the home affairs committee in March that the bill would be published “early next year” to establish new rules for 2021 – arguing that the agreement reached with the EU on citizens‘ rights had “to a certain extent” had removed the urgency。
The Home Office said the transition period agreement meant that the immigration bill “will not be needed until after this period ends in December 2020。 The bills will be brought forward when Parliamentary time allows”。

River Oaks社區主要以獨立屋為主。獨立屋的比例遠高於城市比例,公寓房源的比例則比城市平均比例低出很多。這也從另一個側面說明這個社區的品質。另一個有趣的現像是,這裡聯排房屋(Row House)的比例接近25%,高出城市平均值不少。這類房源在大多倫多地區的市面上並不多見,而這個社區應該是一個聯排房屋較為集中的區域。
River Oaks社區中多條主干道貫穿,南北向的6th Line、Neyagawa Blvd;東西向的Dundas St E、Upper Middle Rd E都使得出行十分便捷。River Oaks社區雖並未緊挨任何一條高速路,但地處Oakville的中心位置,通過上述幾條主干道前往Hwy401、Hwy407以及QEW都很方便。

5月20日是中國的第28個助殘日。2012年6月28日, 中國國務院層通過 No 622 號令,規定自2012年8月1日起,實施《無障礙環境實施條例》。6年過去了,由於中國的無障礙環境實施起步晚、基礎薄弱、經費投入不足等原因,雖然在各省已加大力度對殘疾人家庭進行了無障礙改造,但占比依然不及全國有需求的殘疾人家庭的10%,特別是全國還有300多萬貧困重度殘疾人家庭尚未進行無障礙改造,實現真正的全國殘障人口及老齡化社會以後的無障礙環境實施仍然任重道遠。
