There is much to admire in the level-headed and pragmatic range of proposals put forward by Timothy Kirkhope to improve Britain's relationship with the EU. Kirkhope comments favourably on Britain having rejoined the EU Horizon and Copernicus programmes but surprisingly doesn't call for our return to the highly successful Erasmus student exchange programme. Yet such a move potentially benefiting hundreds of thousands of UK students appears widely supported.
I suggest that these visas be extended at minimal cost and on a reciprocal basis to everyone aged 19 through 30 from all EEA countries as a way of both meeting staff shortages and providing life-enhancing social, cultural and linguistic opportunities. My wife and I were fortunate recently to visit Barcelona and be reminded of just how attractive a litter free European city with a comprehensive public transport network can be.
