EU Nationals: UK Residence

Debate between James Brokenshire and Tristram Hunt

Monday 4th July 2016 Commons Chamber

[James Brokenshire]

No.

[Tristram Hunt (Stoke-on-Trent Central) (Lab)]

Following on from the question from the hon. Member for Ochil and South Perthshire (Ms Ahmed-Sheikh), can we be clear that the Secretary of State for Education confirmed at the Dispatch Box that the children of all EU nationals would continue to be educated in British schools? Will the Minister tell us whether that will go up to the age of 18, or 21, or does he not have clue, as with the rest of his answers?

[James Brokenshire]

The Secretary of State for Education made her comments this afternoon and clearly he will need to direct further comments to the Department.

[Tristram Hunt]

You’re part of the same Government!
