Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to paragraph 6 of his Department's policy paper entitled, Safeguarding the position of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU, published on 26 June 2017, whether family dependents of non-UK EU citizens in the UK who arrive after the specified date will be subject to the immigration rules in respect of their family members.

Family members of eligible EU citizens resident in the UK before we leave the EU will be able to apply for settled status after five years, whether they are EU or non-EU citizens. They will be subject to the same rules that apply to non-EU nationals joining British citizens, or alternatively to the post-exit immigration arrangements for EU citizens who arrive after the specified date.
