In the news reports yesterday threatening an immediate end to freedom of movement if we leave the EU without a deal, there were also comments about making the entry requirements more stringent for anyone with a criminal record:

"A Downing Street spokeswoman added that "tougher criminality rules" for those coming to the UK will be introduced."

As always, no detail and more of a statement than a policy. The concern is that the EU responds down the road on a tit for tat basis and tightens up their proposed ETIAS rules, which at the moment look like they won't be restrictive for the vast majority of us (i.e. only offences within last 10 years and only for those on the list of most serious crimes)
