Britain will not agree to new refugee-sharing plan
Britain will not agree to any new EU plans to share refugees across the continent, ITV News Political Editor Robert Peston has been told.
The European Commission is expected to propose scrapping current rules meaning refugees and migrants have to claim asylum in the first country they arrive in.
The move could leave Britain and other northern European nations more open to an increase in migration, something ITV News was told the government would oppose.
It comes as the prime minister meets a host of EU counterparts at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, with some of the focus on his attempts to finalise the deal.
