Written Question
Immigration: EU Nationals
Wednesday 5th July 2017

Asked by: Nigel Evans (Conservative - Ribble Valley)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, by what date EU citizens living in the UK will know the cut-off point after which any new EU citizens arriving in the UK may not be given settled status.

Answered by Robin Walker

We want to reach a reciprocal agreement for EU citizens in Britain and UK nationals in Europe as quickly as possible, including on the issue of the specified date.

The specified date is a matter for negotiations with our European partners as part of delivering a reciprocal agreement. We are clear that it should be no earlier than the date we triggered Article 50 (29 March 2017), and no later than the date we leave the EU. To specify a date now, and then risk this changing through the course of negotiations, would lead to further uncertainty for both EU citizens and UK nationals.

"The hon. Lady is making a very powerful point. I actually think it is tantamount to torture not to tell people from the EU living and working in this country that they can stay, as it is for British people living and working in the European Union. Does she not …..."

Despite all those threats, the British people decided that, in their considered opinion, they wanted to vote to leave the European Union. About 57% of my constituents voted to leave—all the Lancashire constituencies, in fact, voted to leave the European …..."
