answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <p>The UK government has always acted to ensure that UK nationals can continue to live their lives broadly as they do now, and that remains our objective both in a deal and no deal scenario. The Withdrawal Agreement will protect the rights of around one million UK nationals in the EU and over 3 million EU citizens in the UK.</p><p>The UK cannot act unilaterally to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU and that is why we have always prioritised reaching a reciprocal agreement with the EU. The Government has been calling on Member States to protect the rights of UK nationals in a no deal scenario and we welcome the progress that has been made. All Member States have set out their no deal plans and provided some reassurances that the rights of UK nationals will be protected in the event of a no deal, but we continue to call on them to go further and match our no deal offer to EU citizens.</p><p>The Government recognises the concerns of UK nationals in the EU including those who may choose to return to the UK, and published a policy paper on 4 April 2019 setting out the steps that we have taken to address these concerns should UK nationals decide to return, regardless of whether a deal is reached with the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 23/04/2019 15:54:45 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/02/2019 answer text <p>The Withdrawal Agreement includes protections for the rights of citizens including UK nationals currently living in the EU, which will allow them to continue living their lives broadly as they do now in the countries where they currently live.</p><p>The Government has been clear that we do not want or expect a no deal scenario. However, we will continue to do the responsible thing and prepare for all eventualities. This includes the potential impact of a no deal scenario on UK nationals currently resident in the EU.</p><p>The Office for National Statistics calculates there are approximately 780,000 UK nationals who currently live in the EU, excluding Ireland. Some of them could decide to return to the UK depending on a range of factors including action by EU member states and personal circumstances.</p><p>On 19 December, the European Commission reconfirmed their commitment to putting citizens’ rights first and called on Member States to take a generous approach to the rights of UK nationals in the EU. The majority of Member States, including France, Spain and the Netherlands, have set out their no deal plans and provided reassurances that the rights of UK nationals will be protected. The Government hopes that other Member States will set out the detail of their plans to protect the rights of UK nationals, in line with our assurances to EU citizens living in the UK, so there should be no need for them to leave.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 15/02/2019 15:10:28 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>On 6 December the Government published the policy paper Citizens’ Rights - EU Citizens in the UK and UK Nationals in the EU setting out the details of our offer to EU citizens in the UK in the unlikely event of a no deal scenario. This confirms EU citizens resident in the UK by 29 March 2019 will be able to work, study, and access benefits and services as now and that. The Home Office will continue to run the EU Settlement Scheme, with no changes to the basis for qualifying under the scheme.</p><p>This demonstrates the UK Government’s ongoing commitment to citizens and removes any ambiguity over their future.</p><p>We are calling for EU Member States to offer the same protections to UK nationals in the EU. Some countries have committed already to do so, and we hope others will do the same shortly. We have instructed our Ambassadors to engage with EU counterparts to urge them to make the same commitment to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU.<strong><br></strong></p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 10/12/2018 15:50:37 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
