European Parliament Elections: Non-UK EU Citizens

Lord Cormack Excerpts

Wednesday 5th June 2019 Lords Chamber

[Lord Cormack (Con)]

My Lords, would it not help to calm those who were understandably upset by recent events if this House used much of the time we have at the moment, while we are treading water, to take the moral high ground and pass legislation giving full rights to EU nationals living in this country?

[Lord Young of Cookham]

I believe that was part of the agreement reached by the Prime Minister, which she put to the other place. I hope that however this matter is resolved, what my noble friend has suggested will indeed be the case.
