Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 18 July 2017 to Question 4802, how (a) employers, (b) landlords, (c) banks and building societies, (d) the DVLA and (e) benefit agencies will be able to distinguish between EU citizens who arrived in the UK before the specified date and those who arrive after the specified date.
The Government has set out its intention in its published document “Safeguarding the position of EU citizens living in the UK and UK nationals living in the EU” to issue residence documentation to EU nationals who will be granted indefinite leave to remain on the basis of their residence in the UK. The Government will set out its plans in due course for redesigning the immigration system to introduce controls on future migration to the UK by EU citizens, including any plans for adjusting statutory checks by employers, landlords and other service providers.
