Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effect of the UK leaving the EU on the right of dual nationals of the UK and Ireland to bring a spouse or other family members into the UK.
Answered by Caroline Nokes
The Withdrawal Agreement between the EU and the UK will protect the spouses and other family members of EU citizens, including Irish nationals, who have relied on their free movement rights in the UK at the time of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, on 29 March 2019. Those spouses or family members who fall outside the scope of the Withdrawal Agreement will be subject to alternative immigration arrangements, which will depend on their circumstances.
