Q You wrote that the European parliament has confirmed British visitors to the EU would not need a visa in the event of a no-deal Brexit. This appears good news at face value. But do you think the reciprocation caveat “provided EU nationals enjoy the same conditions when travelling to the UK” might become a stumbling block?
