The huts, made of chalk and straw daub and wheat-thatched roofing, have been based on archaeological remains found at Durrington Walls, near Stonehenge.
Project leader Luke Winter said: "What we're trying to do is get a sense of what these buildings looked like above-ground."
The hope is to re-build the huts at Stonehenge visitor centre next year.
"What makes the buildings interesting is that they were dated to about the same time as the large sarsen stones were being erected at Stonehenge," Mr Winter said.
"One of the theories is that these may have housed the people that were helping with construction of that monument."
Inside, the project team has used a variety of different daubs, made of pig soil [dung] or chalk and straw and construction techniques that would have been used by Neolithic people.
"We've been trying a completely different way of thatching a roof. Nothing is tied onto the roof, as you would in a modern thatched building but the wheat straw that we've used is knotted and then tucked into a woven framework.
"Often people think 4,500 years ago is a long time ago, which of course to us as modern people it is, but it's well into beginnings of agriculture.
"We're looking at people that were farming, keeping cows and domesticating cereal crops, and of course houses were an important thing."

Mr Trump broke a long-held tradition by not releasing his paperwork during his presidential campaign.
His critics want to know who he has been dealing with and if there are any conflicts of interest.
At least 21 people were arrested in Berkeley, California, in clashes between Trump opponents and supporters.
There is no law requiring presidents to release their tax returns, but Mr Trump has found himself under public pressure and some information from a 2005 tax return was leaked to the media last month.
The protests were timed to coincide with the traditional mid-April deadline for Americans to file their tax returns.
"I think it is critical we know about his investments, his donations and any entanglements he has," said one protester, Chuck Wash, at a march in Washington DC.
The idea for the themed march came from law professor Jennifer Taub, who was angered when presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway said President Trump would not be releasing his tax returns because "people don't care".
In January, Ms Taub tweeted of the need for a nationwide protest to show the president that many people do care.
The idea quickly caught on.
"I wanted to express myself and never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be standing here today, seeing this idea that I tweeted out in January come to life," she told the BBC at the Washington DC march.
Ms Taub said the march had broader aims than just wanting to see the president's paperwork.
"This is also about having a tax system that is fair," she said. "Both in terms of making sure everyone pays their fair share and also in taking public resources - our taxes - and spending them on things that make everyone flourish."
She said less should be spent on wars, and more should go to public service television and the Meals on Wheels programme, which Mr Trump has made funding cuts to in the first months of his presidency.
Congresswoman Maxine Waters, a Democrat from California, was also at the march in Washington DC.
She said the Trump administration has a "huge" transparency problem.
"He [Trump] talked about draining the swamp and making everything transparent. He lied again," said Ms Waters.
She also criticised Friday's announcement that President Donald Trump will not release the logs of those who visit the White House.
The White House cited "grave national security risks and privacy concerns" as the reason for its decision, reversing former President Barack Obama's voluntary disclosure policy.
Participants used the hashtag #showusyourtaxes to share their images on social media.
President Trump's supporters have also gone online to express their support for the president.
One Twitter user accused protesters of "flogging a dead horse" and many said they had no interest in seeing the returns.
Separately, more than a dozen people were arrested in Berkeley, California, after supporters of Mr Trump clashed with anti-fascist demonstrators at a free speech rally, police said.
Several people were injured when fighting broke out at a park in the city as opponents and supporters of the US president met on the streets during Saturday's protests, according to CNN.
Footage shared on social media showed crowds of people throwing items at one another and demonstrators being attacked with what appeared to be chemical sprays and makeshift weapons.

The news means the WBO belt would not be on the line if IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua of Britain and Wladimir Klitschko agree to fight.
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has said terms were almost agreed with former champion Klitschko and hoped the IBF, WBO and WBA titles would be contested.
But Ruiz Jr's promoter Bob Arum said the WBO has sanctioned the Parker bout.
The WBO is yet to confirm the decision but Arum is already considering venues and expects the match to take place in Parker's native New Zealand.
The 24-year-old is undefeated in 21 fights and is the WBO's number-one ranked heavyweight, with Ukrainian Klitschko second.
Mexico's Ruiz Jr, 27, is third on the list and has won all of his 29 bouts.
Fury has vacated the WBO and WBA straps and had his boxing licence stripped by the British Boxing Board of Control "pending further investigation into anti-doping and medical issues".
The 28-year-old, who defeated Klitschko in 2015, is suffering from depression and has admitted to taking cocaine. In November he also has an appeal hearing for a doping charge issued in July.
It is unclear if the WBA will allow Joshua to compete for their version of the title, but Hearn says his fighter will be in action on 10 December even if Klitschko pursues a fight for the belt with a different opponent.

The Northampton hooker is expected to be named skipper by new head coach Eddie Jones on Monday.
Hartley has been banned for over a year in total during his career.
But Rugby Football Union chief executive Ritchie said he had "paid the penalty", adding "I don't think it precludes him [from being captain]".
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Ritchie added: "It is primarily a matter for the head coach, and I'm not going to hinder that in any way.
"It's a matter of balance and perspective, and Dylan I'm sure brings many positives as well to the set-up."
Ritchie confirmed the RFU is monitoring the case of young flanker Sam Underhill, who plays for Welsh region Ospreys.
The 19-year-old is English and is on the radar of England boss Jones, but is ineligible to be picked for his country while playing outside the English Premiership.
Underhill - who has captained England at Under-18 level - is studying at Cardiff University and is contracted to Bridgend and the Ospreys.
However, Ritchie says Underhill's case may be viewed differently to the likes of those who play in France, and that he may be treated as a special case given his age.
"I think we need to look at that, and we are having some discussions about that," Ritchie added.
"We want to keep people who have played in our age-grade teams, as he has. We maybe need to look at whether it is different for elite squads compared to development squads."
Ritchie says French club Toulon's bid to join the Premiership is a "long shot".
The Toulon president Mourad Boudjelall has written to Premiership Rugby this week about the prospect.
The RFU council would have to approve any change to England's elite competition, and Ritchie believes there are numerous obstacles in Toulon's way.
"I think it's a challenging proposition," Ritchie said.
"I would think it's a long shot, but having said that it's for others to discuss as well, and we've not really sat down and had a proper, considered conversation about it yet.
"But in some ways it's interesting Mr Boudjellal thinks that playing rugby in England is good for Toulon, so we should look at that as a positive."
Despite England's disappointing performance at the World Cup, the RFU says it is on course to meet legacy targets.
Early evidence shows participation is increasing, including 8,000 adults returning to the game during and after the tournament, and the RFU has launched programmes to get more schools and clubs playing the sport, and will also provide 100 new artificial pitches across the country.
"We really are trying to use the opportunity the Rugby World Cup gave us to grow the profile of the game - and participation in the game - across the country.

The regime said 22-year-old Otto Warmbier's medical condition was caused last year by botulism and a sleeping pill he was given after his trial.
But Fred Warmbier said his son had been treated "brutally".
He spoke as an Ohio hospital said Otto had suffered a "severe neurological injury" and is in a stable condition.
"We went for 15 months without a word from or about Otto," Mr Warmbier said of his son, who fought back tears at Thursday's press conference in Cincinnati, Ohio.
"It was only a week ago that the North Korean government now claims that he was in a coma for almost all of that time.
"Even if you believe their explanation of botulism and a sleeping pill causing the coma - and we don't - there's no excuse for a civilised nation to have kept his condition secret and to have denied him top notch medical care."
Otto Warmbier, an economics student from the University of Virginia, was arrested in January 2016 while visiting North Korea as a tourist.
Botulism is a type of poisoning which can cause total body paralysis, difficulty in breathing and death in some cases.
It's caused by the clostridium botulinum bacteria, but the symptoms of botulism are not from the bacteria themselves.
Instead, the microscopic organisms produce a powerful toxin which attacks the nervous system and causes paralysis.
That poison is called botulinum - which you may know for its commercial use in Botox, which removes wrinkles by paralysing facial muscles.
Botulism is contracted in two ways in adults - by eating food contaminated with the toxin, or through wounds.
The foodborne method happens when the bacteria are tinned or stored in food in another way that deprives them from air (which is when they produce the poison).
This rarely happens in modern western food production, but is what North Korea claims happened to Mr Warmbier.
He was given a 15-year prison sentence for attempting to steal a propaganda sign from a hotel.
Fred Warmbier told reporters his son had been held as a "war criminal'.
He said he and his wife, Cindy, had relied "on this false premise that they would treat Otto fairly and let him go".
In honour of his son, Fred Warmbier wore the same jacket Otto was wearing when he was paraded before media to tearfully confess to attempting to take the sign as a "trophy" for a US church.
Mr Warmbier also appeared to criticise the Obama administration for failing to help secure his son's release.
How harsh is prison in North Korea?
"When Otto was first taken we were advised by the past administration to take a low profile while they worked to obtain his release," he said.
"We did so without result. Earlier this year Cindy and I decided the time for strategic patience was over."
The university student was freed hours after US basketball star Dennis Rodman arrived in North Korea, but Fred Warmbier said the professional athlete's visit had nothing to do with his son's release.
The US has in the past accused North Korea of detaining Americans as political pawns in negotiations over its nuclear weapons programme.

Lionel Portillo-Meza pleaded not guilty in the death of Brian Terry in an Arizona court on Wednesday.
Weapons found at the scene of his death were linked to a US anti-gun-running scheme called Fast and Furious.
Under the programme, the US allowed criminals to purchase guns in order to trace them to major arms traffickers.
But US agents lost track of 1,400 of the firearms, including the ones believed to have killed Terry.
A US justice department report has cited 14 people for possible disciplinary action for their roles in the programme.
Mr Portillo-Meza was arrested in Mexico in 2012. He was flown to the US on Tuesday.
He has been charged with murder, as well as assault and other charges.
"This development brings us one step closer to achieving justice for a beloved agent who paid the highest price in protecting this country," said US Attorney for Southern California Laura Duffy.
"While there is nothing that can be done to bring Agent Terry home again, we hope this news will bring some level of comfort."
Another man, Manuel Osorio-Arellanes, was sentenced to 30 years in prison in February for the 2010 murder, which occurred as Osorio-Arellanes and his gang engaged in a firefight with US border agents in rural Arizona.
The US justice department announced a $1m (£589,000) reward in 2012 for information leading to the arrest of Mr Portillo-Meza, and three others.
Two of the men remain fugitives, while the third is waiting in Mexican custody for extradition.
Robert Heyer, Terry's cousin and the family's spokesman, said they were "thankful that Mexican authorities have continued to work with us".
"The family has gotten really good at not having high expectations and knowing that things are going to take lots of time," Mr Heyer said.
"They have become very patient over the last three-plus years. So we don't celebrate many things."

The latest threats bring the number of incidents to 69 in 27 states in the past month, according to the JCC Association of North America.
No bombs were found at any of the centres targeted with telephone calls.
Last week, 27 Jewish community centres in 17 US states reported receiving hoax bomb threats.
All of the threats made on Monday, along with previous incidents in January, turned out to be false and Jewish centres have since reopened with normal services resumed.
Responding to the latest incidents, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that US President Donald Trump had made it "abundantly clear" that such actions were "unacceptable".
"Hatred and hate-motivated violence of any kind have no place in a country founded on the promise of individual freedom," the statement, which was shared on Twitter by NBC News correspondent Peter Alexander, said.
Mr Trump's daughter Ivanka - who has converted to Judaism and whose husband is Jewish - also condemned the threats.
Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said that action must be taken to prevent further incidents.
In a post on Twitter, Mrs Clinton wrote: "JCC threats, cemetery desecration and online attacks are so troubling and they need to be stopped. Everyone must speak out, starting w/@POTUS."
The threats were made to the Jewish community centres through calls that were both pre-recorded and live, with suspects using voice-disguising technology, according to Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
Since the beginning of the year, there have been reports of threats to centres in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Delaware, Connecticut, Alabama, California, Maine, Tennessee, South Carolina, Missouri, Wisconsin, Texas and Kansas.
The JCC Association of North America, a network of health and education centres, has since been reviewing its security plans.
In an earlier statement the FBI said that along with the US justice department it was investigating possible civil rights violations in connection with the threats.
The Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish anti-bigotry organisation, said in a statement that it was "deeply disturbed" by the latest threats to the Jewish community.

The firm predicted that the move would help drive the development of autonomous vehicles.
Called Apollo, the project will make a range of software, hardware and data services available to others, especially carmakers.
Other firms in the sector, such as Tesla and Google, have tended to keep key developments secret.
Baidu, often described as China's Google, has been developing self-drive vehicles since 2015.
Making the announcement ahead of the Shanghai Auto Show, it said technologies for use in restricted test environments would be available as soon July.
There will then be a gradual roll-out of other technology, with an aim to offer its full range of developments to support self-driving for highways and city roads by 2020.
In a statement, Baidu's group president Qi Lu said it wanted to create a "collaborative ecosystem" using its strengths in artificial intelligence (AI) to "encourage greater innovation and opportunities, making better use of our technology to drive the evolution of the entire industry".
This move could be likened to Google's decision to release Android, the free operating system for smartphones, says James Chao of IHS Markit.
Even though it was free to use, it became a success for Google because it drives users to the company's various mobile apps and services.
By becoming the supplier of the "brains" for more cars than just the ones it makes itself, there are clear benefits. One is potential revenue from carmakers in the long term.
And what is also crucial to the development of self-driving vehicles is data. The more cars using its technology, the more data it should be able to harvest.
"It really sounds like they want to treat this like a smartphone platform," Mr Chao said. "The holy grail for software in cars is to become the Android or iOS that everyone is using, and this is their strategy to do that."
Baidu's statement alludes to opportunities in the US, but also in its home market.
"China is the world's largest market for automotive sales and production. It has many car brands and an open environment that is ripe for collaboration," group president Qi Lu said.
Analyst Mr Chao agrees. "I can think of at least 20 Chinese carmakers who would be perfect candidates," he told the BBC.
"They don't have huge research budgets or the resources to figure out how to make self-driving vehicles themselves.
"These are firms that tend to rely on suppliers so they can build a car and so this fits in perfectly for them."
He said this could mean that Baidu's technology will be used in millions of cars on China's roads by 2020.
However, bigger international carmakers who are already working on autonomous vehicles are unlikely to follow suit.
Motivated by the widespread pollution problems, Beijing has pushed for more electric vehicles and Chinese carmakers have responded significantly.
And in the race for driverless car technology, Chinese companies are taking big strides. Along with Changan and Geely, Baidu is one of the big players, with AI research being done in both China and Silicon Valley.
But it is not clear how the software and hardware Baidu has developed compares with that of its rivals.

Thousands of signallers, maintenance staff and station workers are due to walk out for 24 hours from 17:00 BST on Monday in a row over pay and jobs.
If they do, limited services will run on Scotrail, Gatwick and Heathrow Express lines and Southeastern.
And there will be no Virgin West Coast mainline services on Monday or Tuesday.
The operator, Virgin Trains, also warned that the East Coast line would be badly affected.
Widespread cancellations are also expected to be announced on CrossCountry Trains, Chiltern Railways, Arriva Trains Wales and First Great Western on Monday and Tuesday.
Rail companies say further disruption and delays are likely on Wednesday, as services return to normal.
If the strike goes ahead, fans of Middlesbrough and Norwich City football clubs may have trouble travelling to Wembley for the Championship play-off final at 15:00 BST on Monday.
An outline of how the strike will affect all train companies is expected today, with full details likely on Saturday - but passengers are being advised not to travel unless "absolutely necessary".
Talks between Network Rail and union bosses at the conciliation service, Acas, are continuing.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union and the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) have rejected a four-year pay deal of a £500 increase followed by three years of rises in line with RPI inflation.
Virgin said if the strike was called off with enough notice, it would hope to run a "near normal" service.
But Network Rail chief executive Mark Carne has advised travellers not to "bank on" the unions calling it off, although he still believes there is "a settlement to be had".
He said his team would be available all week and into the weekend if necessary, to reach a deal.
People who have already booked tickets should check with their train operator on the special measures in place, he added.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said his team were also prepared to continue negotiations over the weekend.
"In the meantime, our picketing arrangements are in place and the response coming back from our members is one of rock-solid support," he added.
The RMT has been forced into this dispute through "a wholly-unwarranted attack on safety-critical jobs, pay and working conditions" that undermines passenger safety, he added.
Scottish transport minister Derek Mackay said the strike was "very likely to go ahead" and have a "significant impact" on rails and roads.
ScotRail Alliance managing director Phil Verster, said the firm was "very disappointed" to have to make so many cancellations but, as it was a UK-wide national strike, "there's very little we can do about it from the Scotland side".
He told BBC Radio Scotland 470 Network Rail signallers could strike and he has only 23 contingency signallers so "our capability to step in is very, very limited".

The police allege 28-year-old Nazrul, also called Nazu, was the man who raped the 74-year-old nun.
The man, allegedly a Bangladeshi citizen, was arrested at a railway station in Kolkata (Calcutta).
The incident caused outrage in India and led to street protests in many cities across the country.
This marks the sixth arrest in the crime.
Police have identified eight suspects in the attack, of which two still remain untraced.
"All the five accused arrested earlier have named Nazrul as the person who raped the nun," a police officer told the BBC.
Dilip Kumar Adak, deputy inspector general of the state's Criminal Investigation Department, told the AFP news agency that police acted on a tip off that Nazu, who had fled to Bangladesh after being identified from CCTV footage of the attack, was due to return to Kolkata by train.

An emoji of the Chilean flag is widely available while one of the Texas flag is not yet.
The Chilean flag with its white star on a blue background resembles that of the Lone Star state.
Tom Oliverson said the resolution was meant to be mainly educational.
The resolution calls on lawmakers "to reject the notion that the Chilean flag, although it is a nice flag, can in any way compare to or be substituted for the official state flag of Texas and urge all Texans not to use the Republic of Chile flag emoji in digital forums when referring to the Lone Star Flag of the great State of Texas".
Some Texans have developed a habit of using the Chilean flag in text messages and on social media as a sign of national pride.
None of the US states currently have their own emoji flag.
Mr Oliverson said that the idea was to raise awareness about the mix-up in a light-hearted manner.
"Even if the legislature decides not to hear it, we have achieved our objective," he said.
The resolution would be non-binding and cannot pass into law. There will be no penalties for using the wrong flag emoji.
"The Chilean flag is a fine design. Maybe it's the second best flag, who knows, we're not getting into a contest here. The important thing, though, is that it's not the Texas flag," joked writer Dan Solomon in Texas Monthly magazine.
"In these divided times, we anticipate that this bit of legislative silliness will be a refreshing breath of bipartisanship," he concluded.
The wording of the bill also emphasises the significance behind the flags' seemingly small differences. "The colours of the Chilean flag depict sky, snow, and blood spilled while fighting for freedom, but the blue, white, and red of the Lone Star Flag stand for the Texan values of loyalty, purity, and bravery," it says.

Katie Milby, 13, has Morquio A, a degenerative syndrome which affects about 105 people in the UK.
It leads to the progressive deterioration of mobility, health and stamina.
Her friend Kyle Pirrie has started a petition seeking to see the medicine Vimizim made available on the NHS.
There is no known cure to Morquio syndrome but the drug improves the life of people with the condition.
It replaces a missing enzyme which allows children to continue to grow, as well as improving stamina and the ability to walk. It also relieves pain.
The drug's manufacturers have been providing the treatment to patients at their own expense but they are going to withdraw it unless the NHS in England and Scotland commit to funding it.
The Stranraer Academy student said her life would be markedly different without the drug.
"I wouldn't be able to move I'd just be in so much pain," she said.
"And I probably wouldn't be able to go to school."
It was that situation which prompted her friend to launch the petition which now has nearly 2,000 signatures.
"As a friend I suppose I felt kind of bad that she was going to be denied this because I know she has got a great outlook on life," Kyle explained.
"She's funny, she's friendly and I would hate to see her in pain all the time."
Galloway and West Dumfries MSP Alex Fergusson has also backed the petition.
"This is not a cheap medication but, as Katie herself asked me, how do you put a value on a human life?" he asked.
"There are only just over a hundred sufferers throughout the UK, with just five in Scotland, and those who have had treatment with Vimizim report a massive reduction in pain and the other symptoms of this syndrome.
"Life expectancy, which rarely exceeds the mid 20s without treatment, can be considerably extended with this treatment, and it is enormously to the credit of Katie and her friends that they have raised this petition to try to ensure that the treatment is available to all."
The Scottish Medicines Consortium said the drug was currently going through its assessment process.

The Staffordshire club are second in the Premiership - the top-flight of English rugby as it stands - and have been part of the league for 15 seasons.
Lichfield director of rugby Becky Williams said it was "devastating" to miss out on the new 10-team league.
When asked if she hoped for a rethink, Williams said: "We deserve it."
Speaking to BBC Midlands Today, Williams continued: "What we, as a club, have worked so hard to do for 25 years is to get to the required standard - which we meet."
Women's Super Rugby, into which there will be a multi-million pound investment by the RFU over the first three years, is aimed at improved playing standards and increasing participation in the game.
Lichfield are the only Premiership side not to be included in the new Women's Super Rugby competition, as third-placed Aylesford will operate as Harlequins from 2017.
Centre Emily Scarratt, a World Cup winner and Team GB captain at the 2016 Rio Olympics, is among five Lichfield players involved in England's Six Nations campaign this season.
In a statement, Women's Premiership chair Mark Francis said "the competition will be weakened" by Lichfield's absence and also "welcome the RFU to reconsider the decision".
The RFU have said they are willing to work closely with the club and help "support future ambitions to compete in the new competition".
Applications for a spot in Super Rugby were based around coaching and training, sports science and medical support, training and playing environment, player pools, and financial streams.
There will be no promotion or relegation from the competition for the first two seasons, which starts in September.
While Lichfield boss Williams is disappointed the club has been overlooked, she does stress the RFU's efforts to establish a better funded and resourced top-flight competition is "absolutely fantastic".
England and Lichfield prop Justine Lucas echoed the sentiment, adding: "For the bigger picture, the RFU investing so much money into women's rugby is absolutely fantastic.

But there is a mismatch between those soothing words and the aggressive trade policies laid out during the campaign - which included harsh tariffs on China and tearing up existing agreements.
It is hard to know if Mr Trump will follow up on his threats, but they have a combustive potential.
And trade is one area where the president has freedom to act without the approval of lawmakers in Congress.
Five questions on economy for Trump
UK businesses react to Trump's win
Trump's economic promises
President Trump: All hat, now where are the cattle?
So what did we learn during the campaign about Mr Trump's views on trade? Well, you can find a summary of his policies on his campaign website, but here's a quick tour.
Perhaps his most radical idea is to impose hefty tariffs on Chinese-made goods, if China does not reform its trade relations with the US.
Mr Trump has floated the idea of a swingeing 45% tariff on Chinese imports.
In a big economic policy speech in June he told workers at a metal processing plant that China had "cheated on its currency, added another trillion dollars to our trade deficit and stole hundreds of billions of dollars in our intellectual property".
During that speech he reminded workers that President Reagan had imposed tariffs of 45% on Japanese motorcycles and 100% on computer chips.
If Mr Trump's threat crystallised it would supply a shock to the US economy as China is an important supplier of many goods.
Take mobile devices for example. China supplies three-quarters of the phones imported into the US and it supplies almost all laptop and tablet computers.
Mr Trump has also been scathing about the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta).
Introduced in 1994 it greatly reduced, and in some cases eliminated altogether, tariffs for trade between the US and its two immediate neighbours, Mexico and Canada.
"Nafta was the worst trade deal in the history of this country," Mr Trump said in June.
He blames the deal for the loss of thousands of US manufacturing jobs and wants to reverse that by renegotiating the terms of the deal.
If Mexico and Canada do not agree to the new terms, Mr Trump has threatened to withdraw from the agreement altogether.
In February, after five years of work, the US and 11 other nations signed up to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), one of the biggest multinational trade deals ever.
That agreement now looks dead as Mr Trump has called it a "horrible deal" and said that he would block it.
The deal involves 12 nations from around the Pacific Rim, and was partly designed to counter the growing economic power of China.
However, Mr Trump claims that trade with those nations had already cost the US two million jobs - with the manufacturing of cars and car parts particularly suffering.
A lot of work has also gone into a new trade deal between the US and the European Union.
Since 2013 the two sides have been negotiating the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership or TTIP, aimed at removing or reducing trade barriers.
That deal has faced opposition in Europe and now, with a US administration that is sceptical over trade deals, looks even less likely to reach fruition.
An existing deal under threat is the 2011 free trade agreement with South Korea.
According to figures quoted on Mr Trump's campaign website, the deal has cost 100,000 jobs and has not resulted in any increase in US exports to South Korea.
While many nations might have their trade deals torn up, the UK might well be looked on favourably by the Trump administration.
The president-elect was a supporter of the UK leaving the European Union and last month his trade adviser Dan DiMicco told the BBC that negotiating a new trade deal with the UK would be "one of the first things" that his trade officials would do.
Mr DiMicco also said that Mr Trump was serious about his threats over trade: "Things have gotten so bad that we will leave Nafta, WTO [the World Trade Organization] and the Korean Free Trade Agreement if we can't get a fair deal.
"These are not idle threats."
But the WTO has congratulated Mr Trump on his victory and appeared to acknowledge his concerns over jobs.
The WTO is "ready to support the administration to ensure trade is a positive element in a new strategy for development & job creation," tweeted director-general Roberto Azevedo.
"It's clear many feel trade isn't working for them. We must address this and ensure trade delivers the widest benefit to the most people," he added. | At his victory rally in New York US president-elect Donald Trump promised "great, great relationships" with other nations. | 37923448 | Summarize the following news within 193 words:

The England centre, 24, whose deal at Welford Road runs out next summer, is attracting interest from several sides.
"We are having some very positive discussions with Manu and and we are very positive about him staying here," Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester.
"Manu is world class. Clearly people are trying to lure him to smaller clubs by offering him huge amounts of money."
Reports had suggested Tuilagi had been offered £1.6 million over three years by Worcester Warriors, although Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan said on Wednesday there was no truth in the claims.
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young also said his club have made no move for the England centre, but Saracens, Bristol and Toulouse are also thought to be interested.
Samoa-born Tuilagi, who joined Leicester as a youngster and has since won 25 caps for England, has been offered a new deal by the Tigers.
"I didn't think other clubs were allowed to speak with him until 1 January, so that surprises me," Cockerill added.

Jemma Beale, 25, claimed she was raped by nine men and sexually assaulted by six, all strangers, in four encounters spanning three years.
One allegation led to the conviction of a man who was jailed for seven years.
Beale from Hounslow was found guilty of perjury and perverting the course of justice at Southwark Crown Court.
Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith told Beale, who was in a relationship with a woman: "This trial has revealed, what was then not obvious, that you are a very, very convincing liar and you enjoy being seen as a victim.
"The prosecution described your life as a 'construct of bogus victimhood'.
"These offences usually began as a drunken attempt to get your partner's sympathy or perhaps to arouse her jealousy.
"They each began impulsively, but what is particularly chilling is the manner in which you persisted in making allegations which you knew were untrue even to the extent of committing and repeating perjury."
Prosecutor Madeleine Wolfe told the court police spent 6,400 hours investigating Beale's lies at a cost of at least £250,000, and the trial cost at least £109,000.
"Cases such as this bring a real risk that a woman who has been raped or sexually assaulted does not complain to the police for fear of not being believed", the judge added.
"False allegations are likely to have the perverse impact of increasing the likelihood of guilty men going free."
In a victim impact statement, Mahad Cassim, who was wrongly convicted of raping Beale in 2010, told the court he had been hugely affected by the false claim.
"One of my goals is to be a successful businessman, to have a nice family and be happy," he said.
"I am working on the happiness - I have a long way to go."
Beale had also falsely claimed she was groped by a stranger, Noam Shahzad, in a pub in July 2012.
She alleged she was then gang-raped by him and other men, and even self-inflicted injuries to back up her claims she was assaulted with barbed wire.

Peterborough restaurant owner Mohammed Khubaib, 43, was convicted of rape and grooming offences last month.
During his trial at the Old Bailey, the jury was told he forced a 14-year-old girl to perform a sex act on him after getting her drunk.
He had a "persistent and almost predatory interest" in girls, the court heard.
Det Supt Gary Ridgway from Cambridgeshire Police said the sentence showed "just how serious this type of offence is".
"This represents justice for young people who had the courage to stand up in court and relive some very difficult experiences," he said.
Khubaib was the tenth person to be convicted under Operation Erle, which focussed on allegations of sex abuse by other groups of men and boys against young girls.
Four previous cases led to nine male defendants being jailed for 59 offences against 15 girls from Peterborough and elsewhere in the East Midlands.
"We are pleased with this sentence today as it represents justice for the girls and young women who suffered at the hands of this vicious criminal," said Wendi Ogle-Welbourn, from Peterborough City Council.
She praised the "bravery" of the victims who had given evidence during the course of the trial.
"Their courage in reliving some absolutely horrendous experiences at the hands of this criminal has enabled us to get the result we did today and means that other girls and young women are safer in our city," she said.

During his trial at the Old Bailey, the jury was told he forced a 14-year-old girl to perform a sex act on him after getting her drunk.
He had a "persistent and almost predatory interest" in girls, the court heard.
Det Supt Gary Ridgway from Cambridgeshire Police said the sentence showed "just how serious this type of offence is".
"This represents justice for young people who had the courage to stand up in court and relive some very difficult experiences," he said.
Khubaib was the tenth person to be convicted under Operation Erle, which focussed on allegations of sex abuse by other groups of men and boys against young girls.
Four previous cases led to nine male defendants being jailed for 59 offences against 15 girls from Peterborough and elsewhere in the East Midlands.
"We are pleased with this sentence today as it represents justice for the girls and young women who suffered at the hands of this vicious criminal," said Wendi Ogle-Welbourn, from Peterborough City Council.
She praised the "bravery" of the victims who had given evidence during the course of the trial.
"Their courage in reliving some absolutely horrendous experiences at the hands of this criminal has enabled us to get the result we did today and means that other girls and young women are safer in our city," she said.
Cambridgeshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Sir Graham Bright described Khubaib's actions as "crime of the worst kind".

The weather also hit Norfolk and Lincolnshire, where homes were evacuated and an air display cancelled.
BBC Weather said 50mm of rain fell in Cambridgeshire in an hour, damaging the banks of the River Nene in March.
A Tesco shopper said water was "pouring through the ceiling near the fresh fish counter".
Richard Mayer, 32, became trapped in his car at Bar Hill while he was visiting to buy a home in the area.

The government investigation said the bodies were burned at a rubbish dump hours after the students went missing.
But the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights says it has found no evidence to support claims that the bodies were incinerated.
The Mexican government is sending forensic experts to the area.
The move was announced by Attorney General Arely Gomez Shortly after the IACHR report was published.
Relatives have always rejected the official investigation.
They accused the authorities of covering up the alleged involvement of high-ranking officials and possibly the army in the killings.
The case shocked Mexico and led to weeks of protests against official impunity and the government of President Enrique Pena Nieto.
Analysis: By Katy Watson, BBC News, Mexico City
This report confirms what many people have believed for a long time - that the government's investigation into the disappearance of the 43 students was deeply flawed.
The families of the missing disagreed from the start with the government's version of events - now they've been vindicated.
There is a lot that is still unknown - the report doesn't explain what happened to the students and only suggests possible motives.
But what is clear is that the government needs to step up its efforts to get to the bottom of what actually happened. President Enrique Pena Nieto has been hugely criticised for his handling of this case - this report will heap yet more pressure on him.
After a six-month investigation, the Washington-based IACHR released a report of nearly 500 pages urging the government to continue looking for the missing students.
A Peruvian fire expert hired by the commission concluded that it was impossible for all the bodies to have been burned at the landfill site in the municipality of Cocula, in the western state of Guerrero.
Jose Torero, from the University of Queensland in Australia, said it would have required 13 tonnes of tyres, 20 tonnes of wood and 13 tonnes of diesel to cremate the bodies.
It would have taken the gang 60 hours to finish the job, he said.
"There is no evidence indicating the presence of a fire of the size [needed] for the cremation of even one body," Mr Torero concluded.
The original probe said the trainee teachers were rounded up by corrupt policemen after travelling to the city of Iguala on 26 September and taking part in a protest over job discrimination.
They are reported to have disrupted a rally planned by the mayor's wife later in the evening.
They were then allegedly handed over to the local Guerreros Unidos (United Warriors) criminal gang, which was told to kill them and dispose of their bodies.
Several people were arrested in the following days, including the mayor, his wife, local policemen and men accused of belonging to the local gang.
The government said some of the people who took part in the killings led them to the landfill site.

An advance party of about 10 soldiers from Force Troop Command, 1 Div and Field Army training will support African Union peacekeeping efforts against the al-Shabab group.
About 70 personnel will eventually be in Somalia carrying out medical, logistical and engineering duties.

The group has carried out a string of attacks - including in neighbouring Kenya - and is believed to have between 7,000 and 9,000 fighters.
The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) was launched in 2007, and is mainly comprised of troops from Uganda, Burundi, Djibouti, Kenya and Ethiopia.
In South Sudan, conflict between government and rebel forces has seen more than 2.2 million people flee from their homes in the state, which broke away from Sudan in 2011.
The British troops being sent to South Sudan will also carry out engineering work to strengthen infrastructure.
It follows a commitment by UK Prime Minister David Cameron at the UN in New York in September.
It formed part of a pledge in the Strategic Defence and Security Review to double the number of UK troops on UN "blue-hatted" peacekeeping tasks and support efforts to end some of the world's most destabilising conflicts.
Speaking at the time, Mr Cameron said operations "will help to alleviate serious humanitarian and security issues... helping to bring stability to the region and preventing these challenges from spreading further afield".
Announcing the arrival of the team in Somalia, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said: "This deployment is another demonstration of the flexibility and global reach of our armed forces."
It showed the UK's "determination to tackle terrorism wherever it rears its head", he added.

The data, published in the Lancet, shows that only one in 200 women - or 0.5% - is still doing any degree of breastfeeding after a year.
That compares with 23% in Germany, 56% in Brazil and 99% in Senegal.
The researchers said it was a "widespread misconception" that breastfeeding was beneficial only in poor countries.
In the UK, 81% of mothers had tried breastfeeding at some point, but only 34% were breastfeeding at six months and 0.5% at 12 months.
In the US, 79% started, 49% were still going after six months and 27% after a year.
It is the worst record in the world. Breastfeeding is far more common in developing countries, but the UK figures are behind even similar countries in Europe.
Women in the UK are advised to feed their baby exclusively on breast milk for the first six months and then a combination of breast milk and other foods, however, it does not give a recommend end-point.
Breastfeeding is good for the health of the baby and lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
Prof Cesar Victora, report author from the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, said: "There is a widespread misconception that the benefits of breastfeeding only relate to poor countries.
"Nothing could be further from the truth, our work clearly shows that breastfeeding saves lives and money in all countries, rich and poor alike."
The Lancet report said breastfeeding in developed countries reduced the risk of sudden infant deaths by more than a third.
And in poorer countries, half of cases of diarrhoea and a third of respiratory infections could be avoided by breastfeeding.
Overall, the report's authors said that near-universal breastfeeding could save over 800,000 children's lives a year.
A commentary, signed by Save the Children UK and the World Health Organization, was critical of formula milk being promoted at the expense of breastfeeding.
It said: "The active and aggressive promotion of breast milk substitutes by their manufacturers and distributors continues to be a substantial global barrier to breastfeeding.
"Promotion and marketing have turned infant formula, which should be seen as a specialised food that is vitally important for those babies who cannot be breastfed, into a normal food for any infant."
Commenting on the findings, Sarah Redshaw, from the BabyCentre website, said: "It is crucial to bear in mind the various barriers and challenges faced by mums when it comes to breastfeeding.
"Generally mums are aware that breastfeeding is best for their baby but often don't get the right support if they encounter problems in the early weeks - which many, many do.
"As a result, significant numbers give up on breastfeeding."

The Duke of York was named in US court papers relating to the handling of a case against financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In the palace's second statement on the claims, it said those made about the duke were "without any foundation".
The Mail on Sunday has named the woman as Virginia Roberts. The BBC has not been able to verify her identity.
Palace officials made a second statement after further details about the allegations were published in Sunday newspapers.
An initial statement had said "any suggestion of impropriety with under-age minors" by the duke was "categorically untrue".
BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt described the latest palace denial as "quite remarkable".
He said it was understood Prince Andrew was now back in the UK after a skiing holiday in Switzerland, and it was likely his first public appearance would be at a reception at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, later this month.
This situation "has the potential to seriously damage Prince Andrew and the institution he represents," our correspondent added.
The woman behind the allegations says she was forced to sleep with the prince when she was under age, and on three occasions - in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein - between 1999 and 2002.
A US lawyer, meanwhile, says he is planning legal action against the woman.
Alan Dershowitz, who was also named in the court documents, told the BBC he wanted her claims to be made under oath.
Mr Dershowitz, a former Harvard law professor, said: "My goal is to bring charges against the client and require her to speak in court. If she believes she has been hurt by me and Prince Andrew, she should be suing us for damages.
"I welcome that lawsuit. I welcome any opportunity that would put her under oath and require her to state under oath these false allegations."
Mr Dershowitz also said he thought Prince Andrew should take "whatever legal action is available" to clear his name.
He added: "You cannot allow these false allegations simply to remain out there, and you cannot allow people who make false allegations to have the freedom to continue to make them."
He previously told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the allegations against Prince Andrew must be presumed to be false, and that he had only met the prince at public occasions.
The woman has issued a statement through her lawyers, saying she was "looking forward to vindicating my rights as an innocent victim and pursuing all available recourse", adding that she was "not going to be bullied back into silence".
The court document alleges that Epstein sexually trafficked the woman making her available for sex to "politically connected and financially powerful people".
Prince Andrew and Mr Dershowitz are two of three well-known men named in the court document who it alleges had sexual relations with the woman.
The prince, who is fifth in line to the throne, has previously been criticised for his former friendship with Epstein, who was sentenced to 18 months in prison for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
The prince and Epstein were photographed meeting in December 2010, after the tycoon had served his prison sentence, and the prince has also visited Epstein at his Florida home over the years.
The prince later had to apologise for his friendship and stepped down as the UK special representative for trade and investment.
US citizen Virginia Roberts waived her anonymity in an interview with the Mail on Sunday in 2011, claiming she had been sexually exploited by Epstein as a teenager.
She also claimed to have met Prince Andrew on several occasions, but the paper said there was no suggestion of any sexual contact between Virginia Roberts and the prince. | Buckingham Palace has "emphatically denied" Prince Andrew had sexual contact with a woman who claims she was forced to have sex with him under age. | 30670837 | Summarize the following news within 156 words:
The Duke of York was named in US court papers relating to the handling of a case against financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In the palace's second statement on the claims, it said those made about the duke were "without any foundation".
The Mail on Sunday has named the woman as Virginia Roberts. The BBC has not been able to verify her identity.
Palace officials made a second statement after further details about the allegations were published in Sunday newspapers.
An initial statement had said "any suggestion of impropriety with under-age minors" by the duke was "categorically untrue".
BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt described the latest palace denial as "quite remarkable".
He said it was understood Prince Andrew was now back in the UK after a skiing holiday in Switzerland, and it was likely his first public appearance would be at a reception at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, later this month.
This situation "has the potential to seriously damage Prince Andrew and the institution he represents," our correspondent added.
The woman behind the allegations says she was forced to sleep with the prince when she was under age, and on three occasions - in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein - between 1999 and 2002.
A US lawyer, meanwhile, says he is planning legal action against the woman.
Alan Dershowitz, who was also named in the court documents, told the BBC he wanted her claims to be made under oath.
Mr Dershowitz, a former Harvard law professor, said: "My goal is to bring charges against the client and require her to speak in court. If she believes she has been hurt by me and Prince Andrew, she should be suing us for damages.
"I welcome that lawsuit. I welcome any opportunity that would put her under oath and require her to state under oath these false allegations."
Mr Dershowitz also said he thought Prince Andrew should take "whatever legal action is available" to clear his name.
He added: "You cannot allow these false allegations simply to remain out there, and you cannot allow people who make false allegations to have the freedom to continue to make them."
He previously told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the allegations against Prince Andrew must be presumed to be false, and that he had only met the prince at public occasions.

British and Irish Lion North, 23, has signed a new contract with Northampton Saints in England's Premiership.
The 23-year-old's previous deal was due to expire next summer and he had been linked with a return to Wales.
"We'd all want to see our best players playing in Wales," Davies said. "Why would we want it any different?"
Davies was Scarlets chief executive when North left them for Saints in 2013, and moved to the Pro Rugby Wales role in September 2014.
He would like to see players such as North back in Wales to offer a "return on investment to the regions that have developed them" as well as to reward fans and to inspire younger players.
Davies added: "From the national squad's point of view, the coaches are very clear that they fundamentally believe that it is a better environment in terms of player management for the players to be playing in Wales.
"They can manage them better in conjunction with the regions."
North, capped 55 times by Wales and also a 2013 Lions tourist in Australia, has appeared 42 times for Saints.
There was speculation he might emulate Wales team-mate and former regional colleague Jonathan Davies, who will return to Scarlets from Clermont Auvergne on a Welsh Rugby Union dual contract next season.
Former Wales centre Tom Shanklin is also disappointed North will remain in England.
"It's probably good for him personally because he's at a very good club and in a very good league," Shanklin told Scrum V Radio.

Gerald Lavey, 30, said his children clung to him during the attack by up to six men at his home at Ballymagowan Avenue, Creggan, on Monday.
He said the gang dragged him from his living room to the front garden where he was beaten with iron bars and nails.
Hours after the attack, a wheelie bin was set alight next to the house.
Police said they consider both incidents to be linked.
"Any other night I would normally lock the door and put the keys out of reach so nobody could break the glass," said Gerald Lavey.
"But the wee'uns [children] didn't lock the door and the next thing we heard was footsteps coming up the stairs and I just knew then that's what it was.
"They were dragging me down the stairs into the garden and started battering me with iron bars. Just before, my wee girl clung onto me when she seen them and they just pulled her off me."
Mr Lavey said he feared for the safety of his daughter, 9, and his five-year-old son.
"Its terrible, I don't think they should have had to witness anything at all. They were squealing. I was lying on the garden and they were just welting into me with iron bars with nails in them.
"While I was in the front garden getting battered they [the gang] were smashing up the house. One of them said that's enough, that's enough but the last boy out had to hit me five or six slaps more and then they ran off down the street."
Gerald Lavey called those behind the attack "cowards".

They were inside the trailer without access to air conditioning or water while outside temperatures hit 38C (100F).
Police say they believe the incident is linked to people smuggling.
Video footage from the store reportedly showed a number of vehicles arriving to pick up some of the survivors. Several others may have managed to escape on foot into the woods nearby.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting head Thomas Homan said more than 100 people could have been in the truck at one point.
Mexico's government said it was working closely with US authorities to identify the nationalities of the victims.
San Antonio is a few hours' drive from the border with Mexico, and the US immigration department is trying to establish the victims' legal status.
Officials were brought to the trailer by a man who had approached an employee of the Walmart store and asked for water.
San Antonio police chief William McManus said in a press briefing that the people ranged from school age to in their 30s.
Local fire chief Charles Hood said the survivors had heart rates of over 130 beats per minute and were very hot to touch.
The fire chief confirmed at least two of the victims were school-age children. Their condition is not clear.
The US attorney for the Western District of Texas, Richard Durbin, said the people were helpless victims of "ruthless human smugglers indifferent to the wellbeing of their fragile cargo".
Experts say people smuggling is a serious issue in southern Texas, and there have been a number of similar cases in the area just in this past month.

For just over a year when I was 14 years old, I suffered from anorexia nervosa. Weighing a tiny amount, I bought children's clothing and consumed fewer than 500 calories a day.
Anorexia nervosa is far from just a battle of wills to resist eating a chocolate bar. It's a serious mental illness. A possession. As though developing a split personality -yourself and the anorexia. In fact, that's exactly what happened to me.
Prior to the illness, I'd been a happy girl and enjoyed a great relationship with my parents, but that deteriorated when anorexia embedded itself in my head. I developed techniques and deceptive ways to make it look like I'd eaten when I hadn't.
I'd dispose of food in literally any way I could. I became sneaky and desperate, and I'd lie constantly, dreading any time away from school because home-time meant food time.
'I've eaten' techniques included sprinkling toaster crumbs on a plate to make it look like I'd had toast. I'd hide any food down sleeves, in pockets, in bras, in my cheeks, anything to avoid swallowing it. I'd mop up milk from my cereal with tissues.
For a girl who loathed maths more than she currently hated life, I became highly adept at calorie calculation.
For a girl who loathed maths more than she currently hated life, I became highly adept at calorie calculation. And I knew how much EVERYTHING provided me with.
My mum was immediately on my tail when I started to get thin. I'd exercise compulsively — literally anything to burn calories. I'd relish any chance to get away from my parents so that I could burn calories exercising. I remember running laps of the playground during Girl Guide hours in the evening because it was the only time I could run and burn calories. My patrol must have thought I was very strange.
Now that I was below a healthy weight, my periods had stopped and I was attending weekly appointments at the Youth Hospital seeing a dietician and a psychologist. I was clinically depressed and spent every day being force-fed by my parents while I screamed and cried like a banshee at the threat of being fed two spoonfuls of ice cream.
I could see my thighs were bigger in the mirror after eating anything calorific. That delusion to me was as real as the glass itself.
The body dysmorphia was terrible. I could see my thighs were bigger in the mirror after eating anything calorific. That delusion to me was as real as the glass itself. I believe that I still suffer from this dysmorphia a little even now, over ten years later and at a much healthier weight.
My recovery was largely down to my mum, whose persistence in monitoring my every move eventually forced the voice in my head to say 'I can't win this', and slowly begin to shrink back. I remember that moment vividly as though the anorexia actually admitted defeat and resigned.
To this day, I can see a girl in the gym and know that she's struggling. I think it's in the arms. There's one at my gym right now. I see her working her tiny limbs like a demon on the spin bike, only she barely has any real muscle to power herself.
The fight to create a more versatile fashion and beauty industry is still one which is continuing relentlessly today. ALL healthy bodies are beautiful in any shape, any size and any form.
It's not about banishing sample sizes from the runways, TV and magazines, it's about creating body diversity. Young girls need to see models walk down the catwalk with healthy bodies resembling that of the average woman. They shouldn't have to be labelled as 'plus size', because they're not. They're just women.

SKN Heritage Museum is showing the type of belongings brought by African-Caribbean immigrants in the 1940s and 50s.
The Windrush generation responded to adverts to work in Britain but were only allowed to bring one suitcase.
Organisers said the display gives a unique insight into important part of Nottingham's history.
The Windrush was named after the first boat which brought people from the Caribbean to Britain in 1948.
The exhibition, called 'From Caribbean Isles to the British Isles -Home to Home', aims to give an insight into people who travelled across the Atlantic to seek a better life in what was still the Empire's "mother country".
Item include photographs, clothes, records and games - as well as beauty products designed for black skin and hair when none were commercially available.
Catherine Ross, the museum's founder, cameto Nottingham from St Kitts when she was just seven years old.
She said: "Our aim is to let everyone know about the contributions that Caribbeans have made to British society and Nottingham and commemorate these achievements.

Shadow culture secretary Maria Eagle called the rumoured plans "unacceptable interference".
A BBC source said it would be odd to make it harder for people to watch programmes they had paid for.
The government denied it intended to determine the scheduling of programmes.
Details are expected in this month's White Paper on BBC Charter renewal.
'External regulation'
A number of Sunday newspapers carry reports suggesting the BBC will be called upon to defend its scheduling where rivals are unfavourably impacted.
A government source told the Sunday Times the White Paper was intended to "set a broad set of principles and guidelines".
"How that is applied to individual programmes and scheduling is a matter for them. But they will be subject to external regulation."
It could see the BBC forced to move popular shows such as Strictly Come Dancing, or the recent BBC One hit The Night Manager, from peak-time slots on a Saturday or Sunday night - ending the traditional ratings wars.
In the past ITV has criticised the BBC for "aggressive scheduling" citing, among others, the conflict between The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing.
Mr Whittingdale has previously expressed concerns about the BBC's flagship News at Ten bulletin being broadcast at the same time as ITV's.
Ms Eagle said: "John Whittingdale is behaving as if he were running the BBC - he is not.
"This kind of meddling in day-to-day scheduling decisions would be a completely unacceptable interference in the independence of the BBC.
"The public will wonder why the government is interfering with the BBC, and why they are trying to dictate when they can schedule hugely popular programmes like Strictly Come Dancing."
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport said no final decisions had been taken, but added: "The Secretary of State has made it clear on a number of occasions that the government cannot, and indeed should not, determine either the content or scheduling of programmes."
Media commentator Steve Hewlett said he thought there would be something in the charter "more general" about the BBC's approach to its impact.
"In other words, increasing the BBC's sensitivity to its impact on commercial competitors.
"Not just in TV and radio but also online and amongst the newspaper publishers.
"I'd be very, very surprised if there is a specific injunction not to schedule any particular programme anywhere because it's far too detailed, it's exactly what the government or the regulators shouldn't be doing."
The BBC source denied "aggressively scheduling" but added: "We do show programmes at the times people want to watch them".
"Research has shown that an element of competition drives up quality across the industry and the public would be deeply concerned if the BBC's ability to show programmes such as Strictly, Doctor Who, and Sherlock, at the times convenient to them were taken away.
"It would be odd to make it harder for people to find and watch the programmes they have already paid for."
A recent independent report into the BBC, commissioned by the government, researched the impact of scheduling similar shows at the same time.
The report, published in February, concluded the impact was "not statistically significant", calculating a dip of no more than 1% in viewing figures, irrespective of whether it was a drama or a light entertainment show.
The only noticeable impact it found was where the BBC and ITV schedule the same type of dramas - such as crime - at the same time. | Labour has accused Culture Secretary John Whittingdale of "meddling" after reports he will allow commercial broadcasters to challenge the BBC over peak-time scheduling. | 36182046 | Summarize the following news within 143 words:

Philae, the first spacecraft to land on a comet, was dropped on to the surface of Comet 67P by its mothership, Rosetta, last November.
It worked for 60 hours before its solar-powered battery ran flat.
The comet has since moved nearer to the Sun and Philae has enough power to work again, says the BBC's science correspondent Jonathan Amos.
An account linked to the probe tweeted the message, "Hello Earth! Can you hear me?"
On its blog, Esa said Philae had contacted Earth, via Rosetta, for 85 seconds on Saturday in the first contact since going into hibernation in November.
"Philae is doing very well. It has an operating temperature of -35C and has 24 watts available," said Philae project manager, Dr Stephan Ulamec.
Scientists say they now waiting for the next contact.
Esa's senior scientific advisor, Prof Mark McCaughrean, told the BBC: "It's been a long seven months, and to be quite honest we weren't sure it would happen - there are a lot of very happy people around Europe at the moment."
Philae was carrying large amounts of data that scientists hoped to download once it made contact again, he said.
"I think we're optimistic now that it's awake that we'll have several months of scientific data to pore over," he added.
This is one of the most astonishing moments in space exploration and the grins on the faces of the scientists and engineers are totally justified, says BBC science editor David Shukman.
For the first time, we will have a hitchhiker riding on a comet and describing what happens to a comet as it heats up on its journey through space, he adds.
Philae is designed to analyse the ice and rocky fragments that make up the comet.
Prof Monica Grady from the Open University told the BBC that scientists now hoped to be able to carry out experiments to see whether comets were the source of life on Earth.
Comets contained a lot of water and carbon, and "these are the same sorts of molecules responsible for getting life going," she said.
"What we're trying to find out is whether the building blocks of life, in terms of water and carbon-bearing molecules, were actually delivered to Earth from comets."
When Philae first sent back images of its landing location, researchers could see it was in a dark ditch. The Sun was obscured by a high wall, limiting the amount of light that could reach the robot's solar panels.
Scientists knew they only had a limited amount of time - about 60 hours - to gather data before the robot's battery ran flat.
But the calculations also indicated that Philae's mission might not be over for good when the juice did eventually run dry. The comet is currently moving in towards the Sun, and the intensity of light falling on Philae, engineers suggested, could be sufficient in time to re-boot the machine.
And so it has proved. Scientists must now hope they can get enough power into Philae to carry out a full range of experiments.
One ambition not fulfilled before the robot went to sleep was to try to drill into the comet, to examine its chemical make-up. One attempt was made last year, and it failed. A second attempt will now become a priority.
Return of the plucky robot
Philae's extraordinary opportunity
Rosetta: The whole story
The Rosetta probe took 10 years to reach 67P, and the lander - about the size of a washing-machine - bounced at least a kilometre when it touched down.
Before it lost power, Philae sent back images of its surroundings that showed it was in a dark location with high walls blocking sunlight from reaching its solar panels.
Its exact location on the duck-shaped comet has since been a mystery.
Esa had a good idea of where it was likely to be, down to a few tens of metres, but could not get Rosetta close enough to the comet to acquire conclusive pictures.
Continued radio contact should now allow precise coordinates to be determined, correspondents say.
Comet 67P is currently 205 million km (127 million miles) from the Sun, and getting closer.
It is due in August to get as close as 186 million km, before then sweeping back out into the outer Solar System.
As it nears the sun, the comet will warm and its ices will melt.
This process will throw out a huge shroud of gas and dust, and if Philae can continue to keep working it will provide scientists with an extraordinary view of what is happening right at the surface of 67P. | The European Space Agency (Esa) says its comet lander, Philae, has woken up and contacted Earth. | 33126885 | Summarize the following news within 192 words:

Sgt Jon Harris had been sent to an alleged assault in the Waterloo Bar in Argyle Street on Wednesday night.
After dealing with the incident he surprised customers by belting out the classic 70s track on the karaoke.
Peter McKenna-Boyd, who filmed the performance, said: "Everybody just loved it".
The officer was in full uniform at the time.
Mr McKenna-Boyd told BBC Radio Scotland's The Kaye Adams programme: "Nobody expected it to happen. It was just a normal Wednesday night for us.
"They've just launched their new wacky Wednesday which is a bit of a game show and a bit of karaoke."
"I think the sergeant was speaking to the karaoke host and she suggested he got up to sing but I don't think she expected him to," Mr McKenna-Boyd said.
"But she held him to it just before he went out the door. The other officers were outside and they heard his name called up and they ran straight back in.
"They loved it as well. Everybody was clapping and cheering for him.
"He was hilarious, especially his pointing and his dance moves. The other policemen were standing and clapping and cheering. Not sure if he was their boss but when they first saw him it was like their dad had just got up on the karaoke."
Ch Insp Mark Sutherland, of Police Scotland, said: "Around 19.10 hours on Wednesday evening, officers were called following an alleged assault within the Waterloo Bar on Argyle Street in Glasgow city centre.
"A full and thorough investigation led to the arrest of a 23-year-old male who is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 2nd June.
"Once the inquiry had concluded and the victim's safety ensured, Sgt Jon Harris from our city centre community policing team was encouraged to participate in karaoke ongoing in the pub. 'Sgt Jon' took to the stage which helped to defuse any simmering tensions in the pub.

Mr McKenna-Boyd told BBC Radio Scotland's The Kaye Adams programme: "Nobody expected it to happen. It was just a normal Wednesday night for us.
"They've just launched their new wacky Wednesday which is a bit of a game show and a bit of karaoke."
"I think the sergeant was speaking to the karaoke host and she suggested he got up to sing but I don't think she expected him to," Mr McKenna-Boyd said.
"But she held him to it just before he went out the door. The other officers were outside and they heard his name called up and they ran straight back in.
"They loved it as well. Everybody was clapping and cheering for him.
"He was hilarious, especially his pointing and his dance moves. The other policemen were standing and clapping and cheering. Not sure if he was their boss but when they first saw him it was like their dad had just got up on the karaoke."
Ch Insp Mark Sutherland, of Police Scotland, said: "Around 19.10 hours on Wednesday evening, officers were called following an alleged assault within the Waterloo Bar on Argyle Street in Glasgow city centre.
"A full and thorough investigation led to the arrest of a 23-year-old male who is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 2nd June.
"Once the inquiry had concluded and the victim's safety ensured, Sgt Jon Harris from our city centre community policing team was encouraged to participate in karaoke ongoing in the pub. 'Sgt Jon' took to the stage which helped to defuse any simmering tensions in the pub.
"I was pleased to see that once the incident had been professionally concluded, my officers were able to share a lighter moment with those who remained in the pub."

On Tuesday, First Minister Peter Robinson urged the prime minister to suspend the Northern Ireland Assembly.
The crisis was sparked by the murder of an ex-IRA man and the Ulster Unionists' subsequent exit from the executive.
Arlene Foster said the DUP was prepared to take "our own action" if the government did not intervene.
"We will be taking unilateral action next Monday," the finance minister said.
"We will give them space the rest of this week to come forward with their own solution, but if nothing happens between now and next week we will be taking our own action."
The assembly is due to return from its summer recess next Monday, and Mrs Foster said it would "certainly be very different" after a turbulent month in Northern Ireland politics.
After meeting with Secretary of State Theresa Villiers on Wednesday, Sinn Féin's Alex Maskey said the party again made clear its opposition to any assembly suspension.
"Martin McGuinness made it very clear to the secretary of state that any suggestion that the British government should suspend these institutions, Sinn Féin will be very, very hostile to that," he said.
"Further to that we will not be in any way cooperating with the concept of self-suspension.
"We believe that people out there want all the parties to ensure that these institutions succeed and more importantly that they deliver for the communities."
Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt said it was up to the Northern Ireland parties to sort out the crisis.
"I believe we can sort it out if there's political will and we certainly have the will to sort this out, because we don't want to collapse anything, we want to fix everything," he said.
In August, police said they believed Provisional IRA members were involved in the murder of Mr McGuigan Sr.
Chief Constable George Hamilton said the paramilitary organisation still has structures in place at a senior level but added there was no evidence that hierarchy had sanctioned the killing.
That was rejected by Sinn Féin - it said the IRA had left the stage after ordering an end to its armed campaign in 2005.
But the UUP leader Mike Nesbitt said Sinn Féin's denial that the IRA existed made it "impossible to do business with them" and has left the executive.
Mrs Foster said her party would give the government time and would watch how "the matter will progress over the next few days".
"We will see what happens - we're not going to pre-judge what happens from the government, but come Monday it will not be business as usual.
"We will not engage in normal politics."
Downing Street has said Prime Minister David Cameron recognises the gravity of the situation at Stormont and has asked Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers to hold "urgent" talks with the parties.
Mrs Foster said she hoped discussions could begin immediately, and said she believed the talks would take the same format as last December's Stormont House Agreement negotiations.
"There is no reason why talks can't take place next week or the following week.
"There are two main issues - the full implementation of the Stormont House Agreement and dealing with paramilitary activities."
But Alliance MLA Stephen Farry said the odds of any talks proving to be successful were slim.
"If these talks do fail I'm afraid the assembly will be bust," he said.

Margaret Fleming, 36, was last seen at her home in Inverkip by her two carers at about 17:40 on Friday 28 October.
She is described as about 5ft 5in tall, with collar-length black hair, brown eyes and has a heavy build, although her weight can fluctuate.
Police had said they were trying to build a picture of Ms Fleming's life, part of which she kept "quite private".
When last seen, she was wearing a green tartan fleece or jumper, dark jeans or trousers, and dark Karrimor-type boots. She also had a satchel-type handbag.
A police spokesman said: "There is a specialist search team combing the area around where the missing person was last seen, this includes in the garden of her last known address."
Speaking earlier this month, Ch Insp Elliot Brown, area commander for Greenock, said: "We are currently working with limited information and whilst it does seem like this is quite an unusual missing person case, it is challenging.
"As we continue to try to piece together Margaret's life, we understand she kept a side of her life quite private so we're trying to look into this in a bit more detail to see if this will help with our inquiries.
"We are working backwards to try to find out more about Margaret, so we've been speaking to friends and family members to establish a clearer picture of her life over the years."
The detective said that Ms Fleming was a student at James Watt College in Greenock between 1996 and 1997.

A poster for conference call firm Powwownow shows a man on an underground train surrounded by zombie-like characters in masks.
Changing Faces says the adverts are "insensitive" because of the similarity to masks worn by people recovering from burns.
Powwownow says the images are not targeting those with facial disfigurements and instead show characters from "fantasy horror".
In one advert, a woman is shown in the middle of a group of people wearing masks similar to that of Jason, the main character of the Friday The 13th movie franchise.
In a blog post, Changing Faces chief executive, James Partridge, said the tagline of the campaign - Avoid the Horror - was "disturbing".
He wrote: "It reinforces the harmful association that people who wear masks as part of their treatment and who have burn scarring, are to be feared and avoided."
Changing Faces says Powwownow originally agreed to take down the adverts.
In a statement to Newsbeat, a spokesman from the conferencing service said: "When we received a complaint from Changing Faces, we pulled the advert as a mark of respect to the charity's perspective and undertook a review of the advertising strategy.
"After this robust review, we reinstated the advert as a reflection of our belief in the creative concept, its clear reference to the fantasy horror genre and the fact that we are in no way targeting or discriminating against people with facial disfigurement, or indeed any people.
"The adverts focus purely on the horror of the commuting experience and in no way target any individuals."
Catrin Pugh from Wrexham sustained burns to her face and body when the coach she was travelling in crashed in France in 2013.
She's been undergoing treatment ever since.
Speaking to Newsbeat, she said: "Wearing my compression mask is why my face looks 'normal' and was one of the most important parts of my treatment.
"This advert, suggesting people in masks are 'horrors' makes me so angry."
"I remember when I first went out into the public wearing my mask, and due to my eyesight I couldn't see it, but my sister said almost everyone turned and gawped.
"If that is then associated with being like a horror, as the advert suggests, it could have been far worse, with hurtful reactions, rather than curious reactions which is what I received."
Powwownow insists that the characters in its campaign are "commonplace in the world of computer games, TV, entertainment and film.
"We wish to reiterate that there is absolutely no intention to offend anyone at all."

But it needed Sammy Ameobi's spectacular strike and a late Josh Vela effort to progress Phil Parkinson's side to a potentially money-spinning tie.
Ameobi's brilliant 20-yard effort 25 seconds after half-time doubled Wanderers' advantage following Madine's first goal since August 27 in the 44th minute.
Bolton also believed a David Wheater shot had crossed the line - backed up by photographic evidence - with the score at 0-0.
However, the Blades played their part in an entertaining game and Stefan Scougall missed a sitter before Madine's third goal of the campaign.
They deserved to get back in the game through Paul Coutts' deflected effort after 64 minutes, but Vela's superbly crafted goal 20 minutes later appeared to have eased home nerves.

The country's leading Muslim body, the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM), seeks to distance mainstream Islam from recent jihadist attacks.
The initiative comes a year after the Charlie Hebdo killings in Paris.
Jihadist gunmen killed 17 people at different Paris sites, including the offices of the satirical Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher supermarket.
Marking the anniversary of the killings, President Francois Hollande unveiled a plaque on Saturday in tribute to one of those who died, policewoman Clarissa Jean-Philippe.

France is still under a state of emergency after November's Paris attacks, carried out by gunmen linked to the Islamic State group, which killed 130 people.

"The objective is to create a space where people can be together and meet normal Muslim worshippers and all of our fellow citizens," CFCM President Anouar Kbibech told AFP.
He said the CFCM wanted to use the anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attacks to "highlight the real values of Islam, to set straight the cliches about links to violence and terrorism". | French mosques have invited non-Muslims in to try to create greater understanding of Islam in France. | 35272307 | Summarize the following news within 52 words:

Total catches of cod, haddock and plaice have been increased, the Scottish government said.
Catches of saithe, whiting and herring will be decreased in line with long-term management plans.
Talks between the EU and Norway agreed the total allowable catch for cod would be 29,189 tonnes, 5% up on 2014.
The increase will give UK fishermen an additional 542 tonnes and Scottish fishermen around 343 tonnes.
A 6% increase in the haddock catch to 40,711 tonnes gives the UK an additional 3,468 tonnes and Scottish fishermen more than 2,500 extra tonnes.
Scottish Fisheries Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "I am pleased there has been an increase in the quota of these key stocks for next year which is in line with the recent scientific advice that the stocks are in good shape.
"It is welcome the agreement has been reached quickly this year compared to the protracted talks last year and will provide certainty for the industry about opportunities in 2015 and avoids any delays to the commencement of fishing in the new year.
"There is much to be done to prepare for the discard ban which starts to come into force for white fish from 2016. This outcome will help these stocks continue to rebuild next year while also helping to minimise discards, and should provide a sound launchpad for establishing the following year's quota under the ban.
"We now look ahead to the crucial December EU fisheries council when we will be highlighting again that our vessels need to retain the number of days they can go to sea as any cut would simply be counterproductive."
UK Fisheries Minister George Eustice said the agreements were an "excellent result for the UK".
He said: "It sees UK fishermen getting a 5% increase in their quota for cod - the second successive rise in annual cod quota in two years. The increase is an encouraging sign that we are achieving our goals; a thriving fishing industry with sustainable fish stocks.
"The deal also saw a 7% rise in North Sea haddock and 15% rise in plaice quotas. This is great news for our fisheries ahead of vital quota negotiations next month where I will be representing UK fishermen." | Early agreement has been reached on North Sea fishing quotas for next year, with an increase in key stocks for Scottish fishermen. | 30340553 | Summarize the following news within 91 words:

"It is welcome the agreement has been reached quickly this year compared to the protracted talks last year and will provide certainty for the industry about opportunities in 2015 and avoids any delays to the commencement of fishing in the new year.
"There is much to be done to prepare for the discard ban which starts to come into force for white fish from 2016. This outcome will help these stocks continue to rebuild next year while also helping to minimise discards, and should provide a sound launchpad for establishing the following year's quota under the ban.
"We now look ahead to the crucial December EU fisheries council when we will be highlighting again that our vessels need to retain the number of days they can go to sea as any cut would simply be counterproductive."
UK Fisheries Minister George Eustice said the agreements were an "excellent result for the UK".
He said: "It sees UK fishermen getting a 5% increase in their quota for cod - the second successive rise in annual cod quota in two years. The increase is an encouraging sign that we are achieving our goals; a thriving fishing industry with sustainable fish stocks.
"The deal also saw a 7% rise in North Sea haddock and 15% rise in plaice quotas. This is great news for our fisheries ahead of vital quota negotiations next month where I will be representing UK fishermen."

The Dufton Europa plane crash landed in a field in Maidwell on Thursday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to the field, but found an empty plane.
Ambulance crews found the pilot Iain McKay and his wife, of Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire, at the The Stags Head, where they had walked after the ordeal.
Simon Nixon, the manager of the pub, said: "A lady came in her with her husband. It was not until she ordered a drink (non-alcoholic) that she said she was a bit shaken up because she'd just had a plane crash. I asked if she was OK and she had a little bit of a cut to her arm. Other than that she seemed OK.
"It's not often you have plane crashes where people are able to walk away."
An off duty policeman alerted the ambulance crews of the couple's whereabouts.
An East Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said an ambulance and an air ambulance went to the accident at about 16:30 BST.
"Both patients were found away from the aircraft and were checked over by the doctor but didn't require any further treatment," she said.

However, once it had served its usefulness, two-thirds of it was given an unceremonious burial beneath the city's post-war buildings and the new A474 road up the Tawe valley.
Now - thanks to a dedicated band of enthusiasts - a small but vital section is to be put back to water.
When it was formed in 1981, the Swansea Canal Society managed to save the last remaining five miles (8km) between Clydach and Ynysmeudwy.
In recent years, more than 25,000 hours of volunteer work has seen lock chambers re-pointed, eroded banks repaired, and new steps and walls built at both Clydach Lock and Lower Trebanos Lock.
In the latest stage of the project, Swansea council has donated part of a former transport depot off Pontardawe Road in Clydach, which was built over the canal and lock number seven.
When reinstated, this 300ft (90m) stretch will link two sections of the canal already in water.
But, as Martin Davies of the Swansea Canal Society explains, the entire project was greatly helped by the extraordinary farsightedness of a council engineer, back in 1973.
"The society had talked for years about trying to excavate the section of the canal which runs through pipes beneath the transport depot, but we had no way of knowing what remained of the lock, and therefore whether there'd be any point," he said.
"Then a few years ago John Evans, the man who built the depot in 1973 made contact with us.
"He said that even then he'd envisaged a time when people would want to save our industrial heritage, so before burying it under concrete, he'd re-pointed and reinforced lock number seven, and had only to remove the top five feet of the lock chamber to level it off.
"It's incredible. Without his imagination it would have been lost forever; so it's fitting that his son has gone on to be waterways manager on the Kennet and Avon Canal."
In its heyday the Swansea canal was a feat of 18th Century engineering; with 36 locks and five aqueducts carrying the water from 365ft (111m) at Abercraf, to where it reached sea-level at North Dock.
For a century and a half it carried around 400,000 tonnes of coal, iron and steel each year to feed the Industrial Revolution.
Indeed, several towns and villages such as Ystradgynlais, Ystalyfera and Clydach owe their very existence to its success.
But by the turn of the 20th Century it was feeling the pinch from the competition of railways, and the last commercial barge to travel the canal was in 1931.
"So much of our history came down that canal, from the copper works of Swansea, to the iron of the valleys, The Mond Nickel Works, and what was at the time the biggest tinplate works in the world at Pontardawe," said Mr Davies.
"After its closure in 1931 it was briefly used during World War Two, but after that it was gradually covered over.
"Back then there was no interest in preservation. There's even a piece of 1960s BBC news footage, talking about what a fetid eyesore it was, and how it needed to be built-over as soon as possible."
Whilst the reopening of lock number seven is still some years off, demolishing some of the transport depot and reinstating the towpath to extend Sustrans National Cycle Route 43 could be achieved relatively quickly.
Attention will then turn to dredging the navigable section of silt, with a view to holding a trail boat festival there in 2019.
Mr Davies now believes that the time has come where public thinking has turned full-circle away from burying our past.
"With the success of projects like the extension of the Liverpool-Leeds canal, authorities are recognising that for every £1 they spend on restoration, they can make back £7 in tourism," he said.
"If we can get the Swansea canal to reach the Fendrod River, onto the Tawe, and back to the docks, from there it would only take a short section of new canal to meet up with the Neath and Tennant Canals.
"That would give us a U-shaped 35-mile (56km) stretch which would take around three days to cruise, and how much tourist revenue could that raise?" | Constructed between 1794 and 1798, the Swansea canal once ran for more than 16 miles between Swansea and Abercraf, and was the artery which created the Swansea valley as we know it. | 38621571 | Summarize the following news within 175 words:

Fly-half Sexton and flanker O'Brien have both recovered from calf injuries and should be available at Murrayfield.
Sexton was injured against Castres on 20 January but is said to be "feeling very positive" about his recovery.
However, uncapped Munster wing Andrew Conway has been ruled out after aggravating an existing groin problem.
Ireland playmaker Sexton has the chance to cement his starting spot, provided he comes through Tuesday's session.
Ulster's Paddy Jackson will start for Joe Schmidt's side if the Leinster star is ruled out while Munster's Ian Keatley has joined the squad as cover for the time being.
"Johnny's making good progress and he's back on track to train on Tuesday," said Ireland team manager Paul Dean.
"I think everything is fine, he's being very positive about it."
O'Brien has completed the rehabilitation on his calf issue and was expected to take full part in Monday afternoon's training session.
Full-back Rob Kearney says Ireland remain unfazed by his Leinster team-mate Sexton's latest quest for full fitness.
Sexton battled hamstring trouble before the turn of the year, with this calf problem proving yet another unwanted hurdle.
Kearney labelled injury doubts "par for the course" in any Test week, then tipped Sexton's understudy Jackson to thrive if pressed into service from the start in Scotland.
"We're all so used to it now," said Kearney, of general battles for fitness.

They will be able to end tenancies, sometimes without a court order, when asylum requests fail, ministers say.
Landlords will also be required to check a migrant's status in advance of agreeing a lease. Repeat offenders could face up to five years in prison.
But critics have said it may lead to UK citizens being refused accommodation.
The proposals - to be included in the upcoming Immigration Bill - come as the British and French governments struggle to deal with a migrant crisis in Calais, where large numbers of people are making nightly bids to cross the Channel to reach the UK.
Under the proposals for landlords in England, the Home Office would issue a notice when an asylum application fails that confirms the tenant no longer has the right to rent property.
Analysis by legal correspondent Clive Coleman
It is currently a criminal offence to remove tenants without a court order. Obtaining that order enables bailiffs to evict tenants. That all takes time. The new measure may cut out court orders, but it is unclear:
This will trigger a power for landlords to end the tenancy, without a court order in some circumstances.
Landlords will also be required to carry out "right to rent" checks on each tenant's immigration status before allowing them to move in, expanding a pilot that has been running for a year in the west Midlands.
Repeatedly failing to do either would be a new offence carrying maximum penalties of five years' imprisonment or a fine.
A blacklist of "rogue" landlords and letting agents will allow councils to keep track of those who have been convicted of housing offences and ban them from renting out properties if they are repeat offenders.
Communities Secretary Greg Clark acknowledged that cases in which tenants refused to move out would still end up in court but that the process would be quicker because landlords would have official "evidence" to present to the courts of their tenant's status.
"You have saved the landlord having to spend money establishing something that is clear and that the Home Office can provide - which is a clear statement of whether they should be there or not," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Asked whether evicting migrants simply increased the risk of people disappearing altogether, unless immediately detained by the police, Mr Clark said the initiative was part of a "joined-up system to send people home".

The streets of the UK are not paved with gold. That's the clear message the government wants to send to those tempted to come to Britain illegally.
Ministers say the tightening of the demands on private landlords in England is simply the enactment of a manifesto promise to make them carry out the same checks as employers and that migrants need to know there is no right to work or rent a home if you are in the UK illegally.
It's not clear yet how the scheme will work or what impact it will have other than moving illegal immigrants from where they are living.
And some may suspect the timing of the announcement is a response to the nightly television news pictures showing scores of desperate migrants trying to cross the channel - and to criticism from some that ministers have failed to get a grip on the situation swiftly enough.
For Labour, shadow immigration minister David Hanson said he backed tougher checks but said ministers appeared to be "offloading" the problem on to landlords and it was up to the authorities to decide whether people should be allowed to remain or deported.
Since August 2014, private landlords in five councils - Dudley, Sandwell, Wolverhampton, Walsall and Birmingham - have been required to conduct checks to establish new tenants have the right to rent in the UK or face face a penalty of up to £3,000.
Mr Clark said the pilot - introduced as part of the 2014 Immigration Act - had been a success and would be extended across more of the UK, although he could not say how many people had been deported as a direct result.
But the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants said the pilot - which has yet to be officially evaluated - had serious shortcomings.
"We have heard that British people with foreign accents are finding it difficult to get tenancies from some of the, you might say, unscrupulous landlords," its chief executive Habib Rahman told Radio 4's World at One.

Mr Opstelten had said the trafficker was paid less than he actually was for money wrongly confiscated by the state.
He also said details of the payment - authorised by Mr Teeven as prosecutor - had been lost, but this was not so.
The resignations are a blow to the Liberal party as it faces an election.
Mr Opstelten and Mr Teeven are both from the conservative wing of the party, which faces a challenge from Geert Wilders' far-right Freedom Party in provincial elections this month.
The resignations are also expected to place a strain on the Liberal's coalition with the Labour party, which has been very critical of Mr Opstelten and Mr Teeven.
The justice minister had claimed that a convicted drug trafficker, Cees Helman, was paid much less than the compensation of 4.7 million Dutch guilders - worth €2.1m (£1.5m; $2.3m) in current terms - that he in fact received.
He also said that the details of the payment had been lost.
On Monday, however, Mr Opstelten said a record of the transaction had been found.
"This information could have been found earlier," he told reporters. "I take full responsibility for this and have just now offered my resignation to the king."

"But when norovirus spreads in hospitals, where patients are already unwell and are in close proximity to each other on wards, the effects can be more serious."

Patients on two wards at University Hospital Llandough are suffering from the illness, which can pass quickly from person to person.
The hospital said the spread of the virus would be limited if people made only absolutely necessary visits.
Cardiff and Vale health board said it was asking people to be "sensible".
Chief operating officer Alice Casey said: "Many people will have the norovirus bug at this time of year - we see it every year and, for most people, it will be unpleasant but not serious.
"But when norovirus spreads in hospitals, where patients are already unwell and are in close proximity to each other on wards, the effects can be more serious."

"The gritters are now travelling to various workshops for maintenance, just like getting a car serviced," said a highways official.
The "low-risk" season begins in October with "high-risk" starting in November.
The county council said they had to think about the upcoming winter even when it was "boiling hot".

Although Gillian McCusker had fallen out with Rachel and Nyomi Fee just before the two-year-old's death she had been very close friends with the pair.
She said she never suspected any wrongdoing during the time she knew the Fees.
The couple were convicted of killing Liam at his Fife home in March 2014.
They had blamed another boy for the murder.
Ms McCusker said she would now change a "friends forever" tattoo, that she had done with the Fees, so she would not have a daily reminder of the women.
She said: "I was shocked, totally shocked when everything happened.
"I looked out of my window and I saw a load of ambulances and I saw them standing in the street shouting 'help'.
"I didn't know what to do at the time as we weren't talking."
Ms McCusker said she regretted that "nothing" could be done now that Liam was gone.
Ms McCusker said that when she went into the Fee's house to feed their snakes when they were on holiday in St Andrews there was "nothing out of place" to make her suspect the pair were doing harm.
She said: "They are going to be in jail for sometime but they don't even deserve a place in prison because they are still going to get everything paid for them and they are still going to get every day of their lives.
"It's not fair because they are going to come out and they are still going to have their own lives to lead and little Liam, where is he? Nowhere.
"He's not got a life. So it's never going to be enough, never."

Specialist newsprint manufacturer Palm Paper has submitted the planning application in a bid to cut its reliance on imported energy.
Due to its size, the application will be decided by the secretary of state instead of West Norfolk Borough Council.
The plan includes a gas-fired turbine.
Palm Paper's King's Lynn mill began production in August 2009 and in January this year produced its second millionth tonne of newsprint paper.
The company said generating its own electricity and steam would help reduce its carbon footprint.
The proposed new plant would replace existing boilers.

Most migrants were said to have relocated to accommodation in refitted shipping containers but some moved their tents further inside the camp.
Authorities want to clear the area next to a motorway for security reasons.
Riot police have been overseeing the operation which seemed to be happening without incident.
The move is part of a new housing project in attempts to improve conditions in the camp, which is used by about 5,000 migrants and refugees.
The 125 converted containers are equipped with electricity, heating and bunk beds, and each one can accommodate 12 people.
Officials had given between 1,000 and 1,500 residents until last Thursday to leave the area, but they were reportedly given a grace period until Monday.
But many migrants and refugees had refused to use the new accommodation and moved their temporary homes further inside the camp, despite poor living conditions.
Many reportedly feared they could be permanently trapped at the new camp, unable to continue their attempts to cross to the UK.
Some also expressed their unhappiness about leaving an area where they have established a community, and are concerned about their future treatment by the authorities.
"This (the container camp) is the same as a jail. It is not good," one resident told the BBC.
Volunteers helped residents to move their tents from the area in recent days.

His comments follow a row between Ed Miliband and No 10 after the Labour leader said PM David Cameron was "wrong" not to oppose Israel's attacks.
No 10 said it was shocked Mr Miliband would "play politics with such a serious issue".
Thirty Palestinians have been reported killed on Sunday and militants have continued to fire rockets into Israel.
The Foreign Office confirmed that Mr Hammond had spoken to the Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman and Israeli justice minister Tzipi Livni on the telephone on Sunday.
During that call Mr Hammond said he reiterated the UK's "need for an immediate and unconditional humanitarian ceasefire".
He said: "I welcome indications that Israeli forces may begin to withdraw from Gaza within the next few days."
Mr Hammond also told the Sunday Telegraph the crisis in Gaza could become "an endless loop of violence".
"The British public has a strong sense that the situation of the civilian population in Gaza is simply intolerable and must be addressed - and we agree with them."
In a strongly worded statement on Saturday, Mr Miliband said Mr Cameron had previously been "right to say that Hamas is an appalling terrorist organisation".
"Its wholly unjustified rocket attacks on Israeli citizens, as well as building of tunnels for terrorist purposes, show the organisation's murderous intent and practice towards Israel and its citizens," he said.
"But the prime minister is wrong not to have opposed Israel's incursion into Gaza and his silence on the killing of hundreds of innocent Palestinian civilians caused by Israel's military action will be inexplicable to people across Britain and internationally."
On Sunday Mr Miliband reiterated that criticism, telling the BBC the government needed to send "a much clearer message to Israel that its actions in Gaza are unacceptable and unjustifiable".
"What I want to hear from David Cameron is that he believes Israel's actions are wrong and unjustified and we haven't heard that from him."
He said rocket attacks on Israel by Palestinian militants "cannot excuse the scale of the loss of life of innocent Palestinian civilians including children that we are seeing".
The aim should be to "force both sides to have a ceasefire and the long-term solution we need", he said.
Downing Street said: "The PM has been clear that both sides in the Gaza conflict need to observe a ceasefire.
"We are shocked that Ed Miliband would seek to misrepresent that position and play politics with such a serious issue."
Some 1,700 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed since the conflict began more than three weeks ago.

Essex Police said two teenage boys and a man were taken to hospital after being stabbed in Colchester between 18:22 and 18:31 GMT on Saturday.
As a result, the force's temporary deputy chief constable approved use of additional powers to search people.
The "robust policing tactic" was used for three hours to "ensure order had been fully restored", the force said.
A 17-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man from London were arrested, along with a 21-year-old man from Barking.
Ch Insp Simon Anslow said none of those who were stabbed suffered life-threatening injuries.
"This is a rare situation in any town and we are using the full range of legal tools at our disposal to keep the overwhelming majority of people safe, while making sure those intent on causing trouble will be swiftly picked up and dealt with," he said.
"We will be pursuing a vigorous investigation to put all those we can find who are responsible for this detestable behaviour before the courts."
The use of section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 gives officers the power to search people for dangerous objects and weapons without the need to have a reasonable suspicion.
The powers were in force in Colchester town centre from 18:40 until 21:50 GMT on Saturday.

The proposed deal would combine the second and third largest cable operators in the US.
Charter is also buying Bright House Networks, another cable operator, for $10.4bn.
The combined three firms will serve cable television and broadband to 23.9 million customers in 41 states.
Charter will pay about $55bn in cash and stock for Time Warner Cable, with the balance of the $78.7bn valuation coming from TWC's debts.
US cable companies are facing stiff competition from online service providers such as Amazon and Netflix, as customers increasingly choose to stream films and television shows over the internet at a time of their convenience.
Cable companies are responding by trying to cut costs and improve the quality of their shows.
The new merged cable giant will compete with US cable market leader Comcast, which currently has about 27 million customers.
Charter's takeover move comes a month after Comcast abandoned its plan to buy Time Warner Cable fearing pressure from regulators.
The latest deal is also likely to come under regulatory scrutiny, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) quickly issued a statement.
"The FCC reviews every merger on its merits and determines whether it would be in the public interest," FCC chairman Tom Wheeler said.
"In applying the public interest test, an absence of harm is not sufficient. The commission will look to see how American consumers would benefit if the deal were to be approved."
The merged company would still be smaller than Comcast, which serves about a third of US broadband customers, said analyst Craig Moffett of Moffett Nathanson Research. "One has to be sober about genuine risks that this deal could still be rejected," he added.
Liberty Broadband, which currently owns about a quarter of Charter, is expected to own about 20% of the new company.

The inquiry will look at historical abuse of children in care in Scotland.
But John Findlay, who was abused while a pupil in the care of Aberlour House in Moray, said money would be better spent supporting victims.
He said the inquiry was "yet another process" rather than progress towards helping people.
Mr Findlay told BBC Scotland's Timeline programme how he had spoken publically before about what happened to him, but has not been contacted about giving evidence to the inquiry.
He was abused by one of his teachers, who is no longer alive, at Aberlour House, a prep school for Gordonstoun private school in Moray which Mr Findlay went on to attend.
Mr Findlay was assaulted in his bed in a dormitory after being given what he described as a form of date rape drug.
"He fondled my genitalia. He put his head under the covers, He took photographs," said Mr Findlay of the attack.
"Once I was able to move afterwards I confronted him about it. I was convinced by him that I imagined it, that nothing happened."
Mr Findlay said what happened to him as a child "tainted" his adult life, including work and personal relationships.
On the inquiry, he said: "I would love to say I have hope, however, it is yet another announcement of yet another inquiry and yet another process.
"I see actually no progression whatsoever with regards to any government or any school providing genuine help for victims of abuse.
"It is all very well saying 'yeah, we are looking into it', but for crying out loud it is about time you could just turn around and say instead of spending how ever much on inquiries why not just spend the money on helping the victims of this abuse."
Gordonstoun is among boarding schools and other institutions involved in the investigation.
In a statement. Gordonstoun said: "We welcome the Scottish Abuse Inquiry's invitation to submit a report and will respond in full.
"Cases of non-recent abuse must be unimaginably distressing for the victims and their families and the work that the Scottish Abuse Inquiry is undertaking will, we hope, draw important lessons from the past and make children safer in the future.
"For everyone at Gordonstoun today, making sure our students are happy, healthy and safe is at the heart of everything we do.
"We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all our students. Our ongoing work in this area was recognised in our most recent independent Care Inspectorate Report which gave us a rating of five - 'very good' - for pupil care and support and noted the 'comprehensive child protection procedures' in place."
The Scottish government said it had established one of the widest ranging public inquiries that Scotland has ever seen into the abuse of children in care.
A spokesperson said: "It will focus on the systemic institutional failures which saw many of our most vulnerable children, including those in the care of the state, abused by the very individuals who were there to care for them.
"We want that inquiry to be able to undertake its work in a timescale that can address the issues raised by survivors.
"Scotland is one of the few countries in the world that has dedicated funding for support services for adult survivors of child abuse.
"We have made real progress in delivering what survivors told us they wanted, including a greatly expanded support fund of £13.5m over five years to co-ordinate access to and deliver resources, integrated care and support for those who were abused in care."
The spokesperson said Deputy First Minister John Swinney had also committed to a consultation on redress, pledging to work with survivors to consider the wide range of differing views on the subject.
The spokesperson added: "Last year, we introduced legislation to make it easier to take civil action against historic child abuse, and we also reviewing the child protection system to ensure it is as effective as it can be." | A victim of child abuse has criticised the decision to hold an inquiry to investigate more than 60 institutions, including several top private schools. | 38839537 | Summarize the following news within 167 words:

The Night Wolves had planned to enter next week as part of a ride across Europe to commemorate the 70th anniversary of World War Two.
Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz had called the plan a "provocation".
The Night Wolves' vice-president, Felix Chernyakhovsky, has insisted the bikers still intend to make the trip.
"Everything remains the same. We're starting tomorrow as planned," he told Interfax news agency.
The Night Wolves are subject to US sanctions for alleged active involvement in Crimea and for helping to recruit separatist fighters for Russian-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Russia's foreign ministry said it was "outraged" at Poland's decision.
The Night Wolves' planned road trip through Poland stirred such controversy because of the group's close association with Vladimir Putin and its support of Moscow's annexation of Crimea and Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine. They are viewed in Poland as the "Kremlin's Hells Angels".
The day after news of the trip appeared earlier this month many Polish newspapers illustrated the story with a photograph showing a sunglass-wearing, helmetless Russian president riding an enormous three-wheeled Harley-Davidson Lehman Trike with the club in Crimea in 2010.
A Facebook page entitled "No to the Russian bandits' ride through Poland" quickly garnered support from more than 10,000 people.
The page's co-host Jarek Podworski, a biker from Krakow, told me the Night Wolves were not motorcycle enthusiasts but criminals, some of whom had taken part in the fighting in eastern Ukraine. Besides, he added, Poles remembered the Soviet occupation of Poland.
Warsaw has been a strong critic of Moscow's actions in Ukraine.
The Polish foreign ministry said three other Russian biker groups would be allowed into the country.
But it said it was notified of the group's plans only on Monday, and without details of the route or number of participants.
The ministry added that it had informed the Russian embassy in Warsaw that the lack of information meant "it could not ensure proper security for the participants".
However, Russia's foreign ministry said in a statement: "It is clear that the decision that was taken has a political motive."
The Night Wolves intend to cross several countries, following a path taken by the Red Army in World War Two, with the aim of arriving in Berlin in time for 9 May Victory Day celebrations in Moscow.

The Night Wolves had planned to enter next week as part of a ride across Europe to commemorate the 70th anniversary of World War Two.
Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz had called the plan a "provocation".
The Night Wolves' vice-president, Felix Chernyakhovsky, has insisted the bikers still intend to make the trip.
"Everything remains the same. We're starting tomorrow as planned," he told Interfax news agency.
The Night Wolves are subject to US sanctions for alleged active involvement in Crimea and for helping to recruit separatist fighters for Russian-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Russia's foreign ministry said it was "outraged" at Poland's decision.
The Night Wolves' planned road trip through Poland stirred such controversy because of the group's close association with Vladimir Putin and its support of Moscow's annexation of Crimea and Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine. They are viewed in Poland as the "Kremlin's Hells Angels".
The day after news of the trip appeared earlier this month many Polish newspapers illustrated the story with a photograph showing a sunglass-wearing, helmetless Russian president riding an enormous three-wheeled Harley-Davidson Lehman Trike with the club in Crimea in 2010.
A Facebook page entitled "No to the Russian bandits' ride through Poland" quickly garnered support from more than 10,000 people.
The page's co-host Jarek Podworski, a biker from Krakow, told me the Night Wolves were not motorcycle enthusiasts but criminals, some of whom had taken part in the fighting in eastern Ukraine. Besides, he added, Poles remembered the Soviet occupation of Poland.

The 32-year-old had been in poor form but made a double century to inspire his side's fightback after England made 629-6 declared in Cape Town.
"I believe I can be of greater value as a fully focused batsman and senior player at this time," said Amla.
AB de Villiers will lead South Africa in the third Test in Johannesburg, which starts on 14 January.
After his appointment as successor to Graeme Smith in June 2014, Amla captained the world number one side in 14 Tests.
He won four and drew six but came under pressure during a 3-0 series defeat in India.
Amla said he had considered quitting before the start of the series against England, who won the first Test by 241 runs in Durban last week.
Until his marathon effort at Newlands, Amla, a veteran of 90 Tests and 7,108 runs, had not hit a Test century since December 2014.
"I honestly feel a lot of the criticism that Hashim has faced in the last couple of weeks is very harsh," said South Africa coach Russell Domingo.
"He is one of South Africa's greatest players. There hasn't been enough respect shown of his achievements as a player."
De Villiers had raised doubts about his future in Test cricket during the first Test because of his busy workload, and handed over wicketkeeping duties to Quinton de Kock for the second match.
The 31-year-old, who already leads the one-day side, said: "It is an incredible honour to captain South Africa in any format. The captaincy has obviously come at short notice and is the realisation of a lifelong dream.
"At the moment my priority and focus is placed on leading this team to what can be a memorable series win against England. This Test squad is motivated and determined to turn our performances around and I'm looking forward to taking up that challenge as captain."
England captain Alastair Cook was sad to learn of Amla's resignation.
"You're under pressure as a captain for a lot of the time," said Cook.
"It's always sad when someone steps down because to captain your country is a huge honour and a real privilege.
"He'll have his reasons and I wish him all the best - he's a really nice guy."
Cricket South Africa chief executive Haroon Lorgat said Amla "still had a huge role to play in shaping the success of our team".
He added: "He is just that type of a person and we are very fortunate to have him in our stable.
"I want to thank AB for readily accepting the challenge of rebuilding our Test team as we seek to remain the best team in the world." | Hashim Amla resigned as South Africa captain immediately after his side drew the second Test against England. | 35243392 | Summarize the following news within 111 words:

Forecasts were for quarterly growth of between 0.5% and 0.7%.
Official statistics also showed that household consumption expenditure boosted the quarterly growth numbers.
But economist Shane Oliver told the BBC the numbers were "well below potential".
On an annual basis the economy expanded 2.3%, beating expectations for 2.1%.
Economic growth in the March quarter of 2014 was 2.9%.
"The March quarter GDP [gross domestic product] growth was far better than feared just a few days ago," said Mr Oliver, who is chief economist with AMP Capital in Sydney.
"However, Australia is still not out of the woods, as annual growth at 2.3% is well below potential, and a full 0.8% percentage points of the 0.9% growth came from higher inventories and trade."
He said domestic demand remained "very weak with consumer spending and home construction only just offsetting the ongoing slump in mining investment".
"So the Australian economy has not crashed - as many had feared would happen after the end of the mining boom - but it is continuing to grow at a sub par pace," he added.
Australia's economy has been adjusting to a post mining-boom landscape. It saw its economy grow 0.5% in the October to December 2014 period from the quarter before, when growth was 0.4%.
On Tuesday, the country's central bank, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), did not cut its lending rates further to help boost the economy, despite pressure from businesses to do so.
The decision saw Australian stocks fall 1.72% as investors saw little hope of a further cut in the near future.
However, Evan Lucas from IG Markets in Melbourne said "the collapse of [Australian stocks] on the back of the RBA not having an explicit easing bias... was a bit of an overreaction".
In May, the RBA cut its benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points to an all-time low of 2%.
Rising property prices in Australia's biggest city, Sydney, a strong currency and a drop in iron ore prices were among the reasons for the cut.
The May rate cut was the second this year, following a previous 25 basis point cut in February and followed similar action from central banks in China, Canada, Singapore, Korea and India.
A rising Australian dollar had also been cause for concern, particularly for Australia's big mining and energy exporters.
Mr Oliver said more help would likely to be required "in the form of an even lower Australian dollar - and to ensure this happens the RBA may yet still have to cut interest rates further into record low territory." | Australia's economy grew at a better-than-expected 0.9% in the first quarter of 2015, compared to the previous quarter, boosted by mining together with financial and insurance services. | 32970412 | Summarize the following news within 106 words:

But the summer visitor is in decline and, according to a new study, its migratory habits may be to blame.
Scientists have tagged birds leaving the UK and believe they take two different routes on their journey to spend the winter in Africa.
Surprisingly, survival is lower on the shorter route via Spain, they report in the journal, Nature Communications.
And this suggests that migration - as well as other factors such as loss of farmland and insect food - may be to blame for the cuckoo's decline.
More than half of cuckoos in the UK have been lost over the past 20 years, according to the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) in Norfolk, which led the research.
"That pattern of starting in the same place but taking two very different routes to get there has not been seen before in any birds, to the best of our knowledge," said lead researcher Dr Chris Hewson.
"We need to understand the full annual cycle of a migratory bird in order to understand its population decline."
Facts about the common cuckoo
Source: British Library/RSPB/BTO
Since 2011, the BTO has been satellite-tracking cuckoos to study their migration patterns when they leave the UK.
Working with the University of Copenhagen, the charitable research institute used satellite tags to track 42 male common cuckoos from the UK population during more than 50 autumn migrations.
The researchers found that birds from declining populations were more likely to migrate to winter breeding grounds in central Africa along a western route (through Spain) than along an eastern route (via Italy and the Balkans).
The higher mortality occurred before reaching the harsh environment of the Sahara desert, despite the fact that the western route is about a tenth shorter at this point.
The scientists think birds may have encountered challenging drought conditions in Spain.
Alternatively, they may have been deprived of insect food such as hairy caterpillars before leaving the UK, leaving them with lower fat stores for their hazardous journey.
Migratory bird species are increasingly threatened around the world due to factors including climate change, habitat change and habitat loss.
Migratory birds 'lack world protection'
Understanding where mortality occurs during their annual cycles is therefore increasingly important, especially for long-distance migratory land birds, which show some of the steepest population declines, say the scientists.

The 26-year-old had explored options with Williams and Renault but said on Sunday he was "happy and proud" to be with Force India.
He added: "I want to thank all the teams that showed interest. It flatters me incredibly and pushed me to be strong."
Force India are currently fourth in the constructors' standings.
The team had always insisted they had Perez under contract for 2017 but it took some time to finalise commercial arrangements with the driver and the group of Mexican companies that sponsor both him and the team.
Perez's career was hanging by a thread when he was dropped by McLaren after one season with them in 2013 but since joining Force India he has scored four podium finishes to add to the three he achieved with Sauber in 2012.
In the process, he has emerged in the last couple of seasons as one of the better-regarded drivers behind the big names in the leading teams and has more than justified his place at the pinnacle of the sport, despite the fact he brings money to a team to secure his place.
Both Williams and, particularly, Renault were interested in him, but he has decided that Force India is his best competitive opportunity.
The team have one of the smaller budgets in F1 but have impressed in recent years for their ability to produce a competitive car.
If they can maintain fourth position this season under pressure from Williams, it would be their best finish since the team were in their original guise as Jordan, who peaked with third place in 1999.
Perez's decision leaves only a few loose ends to be tied up in the 2017 F1 driver market.
Williams are expected to announce shortly that they are promoting Canadian novice Lance Stroll, who on Sunday won the European Formula 3 championship, to partner their current driver Valtteri Bottas.
Brazilian Felipe Massa announced last month that he was retiring at the end of the season, which would leave Renault as the only major team not to have firmed up their drivers.
Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari are all retaining the same line-ups as this year and McLaren are promoting their reserve driver in Belgian Stoffel Vandoorne to partner two-time champion Fernando Alonso in 2017.
Alonso's current team-mate Jenson Button has decided not to race next year. The team have an option to bring him back in 2018 if they want to, but the 2009 champion said at the Malaysian Grand Prix this weekend that it was "quite possible" he would not race in F1 again.
Renault have long been expected to promote their French reserve driver Esteban Ocon into one of their cars next season, with both current drivers Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer under pressure for their seats.
But Renault have not yet made their decision and are taking their time.

Kensington and Chelsea Council won an earlier case against Sophie Sotello in the magistrates' court after she refused to comply with the order.
When she appealed against the decision, the council dropped its case.
It said that it was now satisfied with evidence showing that her son, 11-year-old Gabriel Sotello, was receiving a suitable education.
Gabriel Sotello is one of more than 21,000 children on local council records as being home schooled.
According to the home education group Ed Yourself numbers have grown rapidly - by 17% between July 2013 and July 2014.
Many of these pupils, like Gabriel, have never been to school. Others have been taken out because their parents felt they were being bullied, neglected or were not reaching their potential.
Home schooled children do not have to follow the national curriculum or take part in public exams such as GCSEs or A-levels.
Mrs Sotello says her role is not to teach Gabriel, but to point him in the right direction.
"I wouldn't dream of saying I teach him," she says. "I facilitate, I find the books, I research with them, I give them the power if you like. It is child centred, finding out what makes them tick."
Gabriel initiates much of his own learning and says he is inspired by the freedom to focus on what most interests him.
"Freedom is what makes learning still fun," he says. "In home education you can learn at your own pace and you do learn much quicker."
Parents give various reasons for shunning school, and taking direct responsibility for educating their children.
Jackie Fahy, who organises a weekly meeting in a London park for like-minded parents, says some doubt the worth of the regimented school curriculum.
"A lot of children come out of school not prepared. The workplace is changing so rapidly that actually the school system is huge and vast and slow to change. I'm not sure that children will be prepared for having several careers in a lifetime."
Elizabeth Lil - who opted to educate her son and daughter herself - says that as a former teacher she felt that barely a tenth of her time in school was actually benefiting children.
"I was a science teacher, I did maths. I've so far used trigonometry once in my adult life. What you learn at school is not necessarily the skills you need for your adult life."
These parents complain that councils are exceeding their powers by carrying out routine inspections of the quality of their children's education.
They insist that councils should intervene only if they have evidence that something is wrong.
But grey areas persist over exactly what councils can or should do.

There are currently five drop-in clinics in England for victims of the practice, which affects an estimated 200 million women and girls worldwide.
But there is no such medical provision in Wales.
Now charity Bawso is working to open a pilot clinic at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary to provide medical and psychological help to survivors.
In 2014-15 Bawso supported 788 families affected by FGM in Wales which, according to the World Health Organization involves "the partial or total removal of the female external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons".
Bawso's violence against women director Dr Mwenya Chima said: "In the UK there are women's clinics for women who have had FGM, for medical and psychological help. Survivors can just walk in and ask for help.

Dr Chima believes there is a big gap in the support provided, and that many survivors of FGM in Wales are not known about.
She said: "I worked with a young women recently - a survivor of FGM - who wanted medical help as she was having problems. Although she wanted help she was already in two minds about having anything done as she was going against her parents.
"We tried to get her help from the clinic in Bristol, but there were delays because she was outside the area, so in the end it didn't happen and she is still living with these problems now."

Although it has been illegal to carry out FGM in the UK since 1985, there have been no successful prosecutions relating to the practice, which is carried out for cultural and religious reasons in certain communities. | Campaigners want a dedicated clinic for victims of female genital mutilation (FGM) to be opened in Wales. | 38885221 | Summarize the following news within 86 words:
There are currently five drop-in clinics in England for victims of the practice, which affects an estimated 200 million women and girls worldwide.
But there is no such medical provision in Wales.
Now charity Bawso is working to open a pilot clinic at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary to provide medical and psychological help to survivors.
In 2014-15 Bawso supported 788 families affected by FGM in Wales which, according to the World Health Organization involves "the partial or total removal of the female external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons".
Bawso's violence against women director Dr Mwenya Chima said: "In the UK there are women's clinics for women who have had FGM, for medical and psychological help. Survivors can just walk in and ask for help.

They include strong, stiff plastics and flexible gels that can mend themselves if torn.
The findings, reported in the journal Science, could lead to cheaper and greener cars, planes and electronics.
It is the first time that durable "thermoset" plastic has been produced in a recyclable form.
Dr Jeanette Garcia, from IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, stumbled upon the first new class of thermosets in many years when she accidentally left one of three components out of a reaction.
"I had this chunk of plastic, and I had to figure out what it was," Dr Garcia told the BBC. "I had to smash my round-bottomed flask with a hammer."
That chunk of plastic, produced from unexpectedly simple ingredients, proved to be tremendously hard and stable. Crucially, it could be digested in acid, reverting to its original components.
This digestion reaction allows the chemical building blocks, or monomers, to be reused.
"It was definitely fortuitous," Dr Garcia said. "The first thing I did, of course, was to hit the literature, to try and see if it'd been done before. I just assumed that it had been - it's such a simple reaction."
But her search turned up nothing. This was new.
Once she understood what she had created, Dr Garcia set about repeating her finding. "We wasted a lot of flasks," she said.
Because they are strong and light-weight, thermosets are used throughout modern cars and aircraft, often mixed with carbon fibres to form composites. Some 50% of the new Airbus A350 jet, for example, will be made from composites.
Yet until now, none of this thermoset plastic could be recycled.
"The potential impact here is phenomenal," said Dr Charl Faul, a materials chemist at the University of Bristol. He says the study offers a "very simple, elegant answer to a very old problem".
Dr James Hedrick, who was in charge of the research at IBM, is excited by the possiblities. When a large or expensive component is damaged or reaches the end of its useful life, he explained, it could be repaired or recycled instead of thrown away.
"The ability to rework saves a tremendous amount of money and mitigates waste."
Beyond replacing thermoset-based composites in current technology, Dr Hedrick sees the potential for many more innovative applications. "We're at the discovery phase," he said. "Every time you discover a new polymer-forming reaction it leads to all sorts of new materials."
As well as very hard and durable plastics, the researchers adapted their procedure to a different monomer and produced flexible, self-healing gels. These could be useful in anything from cosmetics, to paint, to the design of drug capsules, because of their particular solubility properties.
"Applications are running like water," Dr Hedrick said.

He says small companies are not receiving the funding required to grow.
"We have been appallingly bad at giving those minnows the long-term capital they need," said Mr Woodford.
On the BBC, Tech Talent coverage is asking whether the UK can compete in the global tech industry.
The UK is a magnet for entrepreneurs - around a third of them come from abroad.

Rory Cellan-Jones: Has the UK got Tech Talent?
Mapping the UK's digital clusters
On Monday, the BBC will look at the vibrant and growing UK tech scene and ask why it has failed to find a Google or Facebook.
A variety of reasons have been put forward, including a digital skills shortage, a lack of leadership experience and difficulties in raising finance.
Rohan Silva, a tech entrepreneur and former adviser to David Cameron when he was prime minister, says funding for start-ups has "long been seen as a big problem in the UK".
"There's two types of funding," he told the BBC. "There's the funding that comes from friends, family and fools: the start-up money - £50,000, £100,000 - to get going. There we've really made a big difference in the UK. We've created the world's most generous tax breaks for that kind of investment."
The second type is "scale-up cash" to help companies grow, which is still proving "a big challenge".
"There is a big role for government in providing a bunch of that funding, particularly when it comes to research in the laboratory and helping that go to market," he says.
Mr Woodford agrees that financing is a major constraint.
"We have four of the top 10 universities in the world, 29 of the top 200. We do science and research really, really well in the UK and we're generating lots of little companies," Mr Woodford said.
According to him, it is after this stage that the problems emerge.
Mr Woodford argues that UK investors are too short-term and do not have the scale to support small technology firms.
Hussein Kanji, co-founder of Hoxton Ventures, agrees: "It would still be hard for something like an Uber to be born out of the UK because I don't think there's a financing community that would give Uber the billions of dollars that it has consumed to get to global stage."
Others point out that Silicon Valley has had longer to perfect the process.
Eileen Burbidge has worked at Apple and Yahoo and is now a venture capitalist based in London.
"They [Silicon Valley] did have an ecosystem that was cultivated in the 1940s and 1950s frankly by the US government and the defence industry that were originally in that part of California."
One problem, Mr Silva says, is the UK's entrepreneur relief which gives a lower capital gains tax when businessmen and women sell their company.
"The problem is this relief perversely encourages you to sell out early. If you did decide to try and build a Google or an Uber in this country, you'd actually pay a much higher tax rate than if you'd sold out and decided to live in a country mansion after a few years."
Mr Woodford also believes that UK entrepreneurs have been too quick to sell out once the business gets going.
But this is not a path that Taavet Hinrikus, chief executive and co-founder of London based peer-to-peer money transfer service TransferWise, is intending to follow.
His company has become what is known as a unicorn - a company set up since 2000 which is now valued at more than $1bn (£770 mn). There are fewer than 20 in the UK.
He said he would not sell-up at the moment.
"We're just getting started with the company so why should we stop now? What would I do? I'd go on the beach for a day and then I would become incredibly bored and I would have the same urge to change the world for the better. I think starting over would be going backwards," Mr Hinrikus said.
Another theory is that universities aren't being supportive enough.
"We haven't been as opportunistic, adventurous and entrepreneurial as others," said Annalisa Jenkins, boss of Dimension Therapeutics, a gene therapy innovator.
"In the past academics have traditionally viewed success, quite rightly, as their ability to publish their research in leading journals... the notion of turning their inventions into innovations that really drive value for people hasn't really been rewarded and recognised in terms of the culture of our country in the last 20 to 30 years," Ms Jenkins said.

Lilliard Gin is based at the Born in the Borders visitor centre in Jedburgh.
It comes ahead of a number proposals, which are at various stages of the planning process, to open the region's first whisky distillery since 1837.
Lead distiller Kate Macinnes said the potential to make the Scottish Borders a "region of distilling excellence" was "really exciting".
"Our gin production is on a completely different scale to the other distilleries in development," she said.
"Our still is one of the smallest production stills in the UK, and our entire operation fits into a cowshed, but if people like our gin, that's all that matters.
"We have a rich abundance of wild food on our doorstep in the Teviot valley, and Lilliard Gin aims to capture that and convey a true sense of the local flavour palette and our Borders 'terroir'."
John Henderson, of Born in the Borders, said the gin distillery was a natural companion to the Scottish Borders Brewery on the site.
"To be able to play host to the first new distillery in the Borders in nearly 200 years is incredible," he said.
"And the fact that Lilliard Gin are looking to use Borders botanicals means they are completely in tune with our own ethos of local sourcing.
"We just can't wait for them to get started, and to taste their gin."

"Lilliard was the heroine of the Battle of Ancrum Moor in 1545, fought just north of the distillery," explained Ms Macinnes.

About half of the former John Player factory in Radford, built in 1895, has now been torn down in a series of controlled demolitions.
The decision on whether to erase it completely will be made by its owners and insurers.
Senior firefighters have said the blaze at the Victorian landmark, which was being converted into student accommodation, was the most complex they had ever dealt with.
So how much damage has the fire done to the city's architectural landscape?
Maria Erskine, curator of community history for Nottingham City Museums and Galleries describes the site as "significant" in terms of the social and economic history of the city.
She says the factory was envisaged in the 1880s and was the only remaining one commissioned by John Player himself.
"Radford was an undeveloped area before these factories were built, so it really showed the growth," Ms Erskine said.
"It was built just after Radford Boulevard was laid down and it was the building up of Radford, so that's why it was so significant."
Players built three factories in the area, though they originally only needed one.
It was used by the lace-making industry before cigarette production began there in 1903.
Players' Victorian factories featured high ceilings and large windows.
Many of the company's original buildings were demolished when the larger Horizon factory was built to meet the firm's production needs in Lenton in the 1970s.
"Players relocated because they couldn't build anymore in Radford as there was so much housing and that's why there's been a slow erosion of these buildings.
"The firm's advertising later took off through slogans such as "Player's Please", which was registered in 1924.
Player's sponsorship of major sporting events such as motor racing, tennis and rugby in the last half of the 20th Century also helped it become a household name.
The Lotus Formula One team was sponsored by John Player from the late 1960s until the 1980s.
In 2009, the city council and the University of Nottingham began an online archive of more than 20,000 objects from the firm's history.

But new research from Imperial College London suggests the gender gap between men and women's life expectancies is narrowing.
It predicts in 2030 men in England and Wales can expect to live on average to 85.7 years - just two years fewer than women.
In 1981 on the other hand, men were likely to die six years before women on average.
But why does this gender gap exist and will it ever close?
In 1909 women tended to outlive men by just 2.5 years, Prof Les Mayhew at Cass Business School says.
At this point infections were the most common cause of death and they affected men and women equally in many respects.
But most adults were dead by their early fifties - and many lives would have ended much earlier through childhood illness.
As living standards improved and antibiotics were developed to help fight off major killers, life expectancy increased.
But despite these gains, the gap between men and women began to widen in the second half of the century.
Smoking is widely recognised as one of the main reasons behind the gender gap.
And quitting is seen by many as the main reason it is now narrowed.
Records show men took up tobacco earlier than women and more of them picked up the habit - meaning their epidemic had a greater and long-lasting impact on their life spans.
By 1948 estimates suggest 80% of men were using some form of tobacco.
Inevitably many died of smoking related ailments such as heart attacks and lung cancer.
And this stamped out many of the gains in life expectancy men may otherwise have enjoyed.
Women on the other hand took up smoking a generation later on average.
But the female habit never reached the same proportions that male smoking did.
By the 1960S and 1970s doctors and government officials had started to take the link between tobacco and death more seriously.
And gradually smoking rates began to decline.
Many of the benefits are being reaped today - and because more men smoked, they now enjoy a greater share in these longevity gains.
Prof Sir Richard Peto, from Oxford University says: "About half of all smokers are killed by tobacco if they continue to smoke.
"But stopping works amazingly well.
"Those who stop before the age of 40 - preferably well before then - avoid more than 90% of the risks."
Improvements in prevention and treatment of heart disease have contributed too.
And others suggest many men are involved in less dangerous jobs now.
For example, a million men were employed in dangerous mining in the 1920s putting them at risk of lung disease.
Prof Les Mayhew of Cass Business school argues this is unlikely.
In a study published last year he says: "It would be hard to justify these differences on biological grounds since the gender gap varies so much and is different in each country, and therefore it is more likely to be societal in origin."
But others say biological differences probably play a part.
Projections indicate when comparing non-smoking men and non-smoking women, life expectancy remains higher in women.
No one has pinned down exactly what this biological advantage would be, if it exists at all.
But experts suggest it could be partly due to hormones protecting women from heart disease.
Whatever is protecting women, their advantage over men has been hugely aggravated by smoking patterns, Prof Peto says.
Many theories on the male shortfall in life expectancy are still open to debate and yet to be proven definitively.
Some studies suggest females enjoy a longer life partly because their immune systems age more slowly.
So in older age they are able to fight off illnesses, while men grow more susceptible to disease.
Others argue there is an ancient, evolutionary answer to the gap - seen in other species too.
One theory suggests males' competitive natures- arising from a desire to attract mates - encourages them to engage in more risky and ultimately more fatal behaviours.
Others believe women may be needed for longer, to make sure their offspring are well cared for into the future.
Official figures show the gap has been closing gradually.
And Office of National Statistics estimates put the gap at around three years by 2037.
Prof Mayhew on the other hand, in work published in 2014, estimates men and women could expect to live as long as each other in 2030.
But others call that an implausible claim. Predictions are uncertain - many things could change in the years to come.
In the tricky world of modelling the future, there is some consensus on at least one thing.

So in older age they are able to fight off illnesses, while men grow more susceptible to disease.
Others argue there is an ancient, evolutionary answer to the gap - seen in other species too.
One theory suggests males' competitive natures- arising from a desire to attract mates - encourages them to engage in more risky and ultimately more fatal behaviours.
Others believe women may be needed for longer, to make sure their offspring are well cared for into the future.
Official figures show the gap has been closing gradually.
And Office of National Statistics estimates put the gap at around three years by 2037.
Prof Mayhew on the other hand, in work published in 2014, estimates men and women could expect to live as long as each other in 2030.
But others call that an implausible claim. Predictions are uncertain - many things could change in the years to come.
In the tricky world of modelling the future, there is some consensus on at least one thing. Both men and women are likely to continue living longer and according to some - healthier - lives for many years to come.

Dale Merza, 20, is charged with misdemeanour hazing after the alleged attack last October on Andrew Seely, 19, at Central Michigan University.
Mr Seely, who was sleeping at the time of the incident, sought medical treatment for serous facial swelling.
The accused could get 93 days in jail and a $1,000 (£800) fine if convicted.
Mr Merza's legal representative told the Detroit Free Press his client, who was charged on Friday in Isabella County District Court, was innocent.
"This case has been blown way out of proportion by the individual's family members, who were not present and don't have any of the facts," lawyer Bruce Leach told the newspaper.
It is an induction ritual meted out typically to new members of the US college men and women's social clubs known as fraternities and sororities, but also to military recruits.
The practice can include physical violence, sexual coercion, forced alcohol consumption, or degrading and dangerous "pranks" such as forcing people to eat vile food mixtures or consume large amounts of water.
It is illegal in most US states, amounting usually to a misdemeanour charge, unless there are serious injuries.
There has been a nationwide crackdown on hazing after high-profile deaths including that of Florida A&M University drumming student Robert Champion.
Why is hazing so common?
Mr Seely was targeted at an off-campus fraternity house, Alpha Chi Rho, which was sanctioned in 2011 for hazing incidents.
His mother, Teresa Seely, wrote about the alleged hazing in a viral Facebook post in March, saying: "He could have been killed."
The accounting student only told his family what had happened months afterwards. He blamed the incident for his decision to leave the college.
The teenager's father, Paul Seely, told CBS News his son could have been killed if the peanut butter had entered his mouth.
The Seely family said their son had made known to other members of the fraternity that he had a severe peanut allergy, for which he carries medication.
The National Fraternity of Alphi Chi Rho condemned the incident, saying it did not condone such behaviour.

A social media campaign had proposed giving Halti mountain summit to Finland for its 100th birthday next year.
The border between the two countries runs up the mountain near its peak.
But Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg said that sadly she had had to turn down the idea because the country's constitution prohibited any sacrifice of Norwegian territory.
Part of Halti mountain is already in Finland - and forms its current highest point - but the peak is 20m (66ft) across the border inside Norwegian territory.
Campaigners had proposed moving the border to give the summit, at 1,330m (4,363 ft), to Finland, saying the change would be barely visible on the map.
They had argued that the peak "would be a wonderful gift to our sister nation" to mark its independence from Russia, and not a big loss to mountainous Norway, which has much higher peaks.
The campaign's Facebook page got 17,000 likes, with support from both sides of the border.
But it hit upon an insurmountable legal issue.
"Border adjustments between countries raise challenging legal problems, among them linked to the Norwegian constitution," Ms Solberg wrote to Svein Leiros, the mayor of the town of Kaafjord in northern Norway, who supported the campaign.
Norway's 1814 constitution stipulates that the country is "indivisible" - and apparently not even an area the size of a football pitch can be split off.
"We will instead consider another suitable gift to Finland on its anniversary," the prime minister added. | Norway has rejected a plan to give its neighbour Finland a mountain to mark the centenary of its independence. | 37662811 | Summarize the following news within 61 words:

The Fraser of Allander Institute reckons that growth this year will be 1.9%, the same as its forecast for last year, for which official data has not been finalised.
That is a reduction on the 2.2% forecast for 2016 that it published in November.
For 2017, the forecast has fallen from 2.5% to 2.2% in those past four months.
The economists at the Strathclyde University institute warned that growth was too dependent on household spending based on credit, which they said was unsustainable.
They explained that the benefits of cheaper oil had not fed through to the economy as strongly as the harm it had done to the energy sector itself. The sustained low price was further pulling back on investment plans.
The economists argued that this month's Westminster budget should avoid a further squeeze on spending, as tax revenues appeared to fall short of previous expectations.
Prof Brian Ashcroft, author of the regular Fraser of Allander reports, said that would slow growth further and worsen the flow of tax revenues to the exchequer.
The report said that job creation should continue but forecasted a slower rate of growth. The central forecast for net employment increase was 36,800, whereas in November, it was 45,000.
The report also warned of the effect of the UK being taken out of the European Union, following the referendum in June.
It claimed the uncertainty about the outcome of the vote would have a negative effect on investment.
Its analysis of the European choice was that "it is difficult to imagine that it would help improve Scotland's competitive position to our trade with the EU".
It noted that the fall in electronics and other manufacturing exports had meant Scotland already found it hard to penetrate open EU markets.
The Strathclyde report said Scottish exporters would find it more difficult if the trade arrangements were changed. Also, productivity could be slowed, when it was already relatively weak.
The latest report from Fraser of Allander noted that the Scottish economy still benefited from low inflation and low interest rates and earning power had been increasing slowly.
However, it reflected on the strength of Sterling, making imports cheaper and exports more difficult. That factor had weakened in recent weeks, though trade had been slowing globally.
It said growth had been depending too much on rising and unsustainable household debt.
Paul Brewer, a senior partner at PwC which sponsors the Fraser of Allander reports, said: "The potential for the forthcoming budget to exert further fiscal tightening, oil price uncertainty and the uncertainty surrounding the potential outcome of the EU referendum, together create a difficult environment for business and investor confidence."
He suggested the UK Chancellor could help the economy with a further cut in tax on oil producers.
At sector level, the analysis said the service sector was the driver of growth, although financial services showed little sign of recovery to pre-recession levels.
The production sector had contracted in the most recent official data, and construction had ceased to be the driver that it was of Scottish growth. | Growth in the Scottish economy is failing to pick up pace, according to one of Scotland's main forecasters. | 35706223 | Summarize the following news within 127 words:

Mr Tillerson, former head of Exxon Mobil with no previous political experience, said in an interview he was "stunned" with the invitation.
"I didn't want this job. I didn't seek this job," he told the conservative website Independent Journal Review (IJR) during his recent visit to Asia.
"My wife told me I'm supposed to do this."
In the wide-ranging interview, Mr Tillerson said he had been due to retire this month after spending more than 40 years at oil giant Exxon Mobil. He turns 65 on Thursday.
"I was going to go to the ranch to be with my grandkids," he added in the interview, as he returned to the US from Beijing.
Mr Tillerson said he had never met Donald Trump before his election in November.
When he was invited for a conversation with the then president-elect, he thought they would talk "about the world" given his experiences at the oil company, he added.
"When he asked me at the end of that conversation to be secretary of state, I was stunned."
Mr Tillerson then gave the news to his wife, Renda St Clair, who said: "I told you God's not through with you."
He added: "My wife convinced me. She was right. I'm supposed to do this."
It was Mr Tillerson's first interview since he took office and correspondents say he has so far kept a low profile at the state department.
He came under criticism after the state department press corps was not taken along with him on his trip to Asia.
The IJR's Erin McPike was the only reporter allowed to travel with him. The state department said this was because of the size of the plane.
But in the interview Mr Tillerson said: "I'm not a big media press access person. I personally don't need it.
"I understand it's important to get the message of what we're doing out, but I also think there's only a purpose in getting the message out when there's something to be done."
Mr Tillerson has also been criticised for his close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Suffolk side Needham Market FC were heading to Folkestone when they hit a jam on the M20 in Kent on Saturday.
As reported on the Ryman Football League website, they were approached by a woman who was late for her wedding.
Club secretary Mark Easlea said they wanted to know if she got to the church on time and to congratulate her.
More news from Suffolk
Despite posing for the photo with the bride-to-be - who appeared to be in decent spirits even though her journey to her wedding had been disrupted - it appeared none of the men had asked her what her name was, where she was from or where she was going, Mr Easlea said.
"Everyone had got out of the coach and was sitting at the side of the road in the blistering heat, when she wandered along and said 'Lads, can I have a photo with you on my wedding day?'.
"She was obviously as late as everyone else and we've no idea how long she kept the groom waiting at the altar, but we'd dearly love someone to contact the club and tell us who she is, as we think she brought us luck," he said.
The Ryman Premier League side beat Folkestone Invicta 1-0 when they eventually kicked off an hour later than planned.
The M20 remained partially closed until Sunday after the bridge collapsed on Saturday lunchtime after being hit by a lorry carrying a digger. Two large cranes cleared the debris from the road which is the main route to the Channel Tunnel.

It is hoped models of three soldiers - each depicting one of the old regiments - will be cast in bronze and displayed at the Arboretum in Staffordshire.
The Devonshire and Dorset Regimental Association said a "substantial amount" of the £140,000 cost had been raised.
A fundraising appeal has now been launched to raise the remaining money.
Mike Richardson, of the Devonshire and Dorset Regimental Association, said the sculptures would also be a "salute" to the families of those people who served in the three disbanded regiments, "not only in the small operations during so-called peace time but in the two devastating world wars".
Paddy King-Fretts, who served in the 2nd Battalion Dorset Regiment, completing three tours in Northern Ireland, said the statues "mean a lot".
"I've been to the National Memorial Arboretum three times and the names of my soldiers that fell are engraved on the walls there, but it's nice to have something to compliment that and for the rest of the nation to see and ponder about," he said.
The sculptures will be created in Andover, Hampshire, before moving to the Arboretum in Alrewas - the UK's national site of remembrance. | Three statues honouring the Devonshire, Dorset and combined Devon and Dorset Army regiments are being planned for the National Memorial Arboretum. | 36357323 | Summarize the following news within 48 words:
