Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, pursuant to the Answer of 14 July 2017 to Question 3557, if during the negotiations on the UK's exit from the EU, he will seek for UK citizens in the EU after the specified date to have the right to bring their family members into the country of residence in accordance with current EU rules.

As set out in our policy paper of 26 June, we want to provide as much certainty as possible to the three million EU citizens in the UK and the one million UK nationals in the EU, and for their lives to continue broadly as they do now. The precise rules around family reunion will be a matter for negotiations.
