Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what steps he is taking to ensure that the views of UK citizens living in the EU are taken into account during the negotiations on the UK leaving the EU.
Answered by Robin Walker
Throughout the process of the negotiations we have sought to understand the unique challenges of our UK nationals already living in the EU. Ministers from the Department for Exiting the European Union have met delegates from groups representing UK nationals in the EU, to hear their views and concerns. Our Embassies and Ambassadors in the remaining EU27 have also engaged extensively with their communities in country. As negotiations progress we will continue to work in the interests of our nationals, and we remain confident that we will be able to reach the best possible reciprocal deal to secure their rights.

We are taking a cross-Whitehall approach to engagement and working closely with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport to ensure that we speak to stakeholders who represent a range of groups and opinions. The Government continues to listen to the voices of young people as negotiations progress. Ministers and officials from the Department for Exiting the EU have worked with colleagues across Government and held bilateral meetings and a number of roundtables with youth organisations that represent a cross-section of young people.
