Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what discussion he has had with his EU counterparts on the future status of UK citizens working in EU (a) institutions, (b) bodies and (c) agencies after the UK leaves the EU.

I refer my Rt Hon Friend to the answer I gave him in response to PQ139985.

In addition to the recent European Commission decision regarding aspects of the post-exit employment status of UK staff.

A number of other EU institutions have made similar decisions. The Government welcomes this and hopes that other EU institutions, agencies and bodies will follow suit to provide consistency of treatment of UK nationals working across the EU institutions.
