Not to mention it's all very well getting out of the EU directives but how do you know the much praised free trade agreements won't depend on immigration exemptions for e.g India or China? India has been grumbling for years about the issue.

True.But the point is,We can choose whether to accept those trade deals with individual countries and negotiate ourselves.We might decide that it’s beneficial to have FoM from a certain country.But it’s up to our government.
As a Single Market member we don’t have much choice on which countries we allow FoM to.
Some control vs hardly any control.
