<p>The Government’s policy paper (Cm 9464), which was laid before Parliament on 26
June, proposes that EU citizens who arrive in the UK before the specified date, have
five years’ continuous residence and who do not breach the requirements in relation
to criminality, public policy and public security, will be able to apply for UK settled
status.</p><p>This is a fair and serious offer, and EU citizens granted settled status
will be free to reside in any capacity and undertake any lawful activity. We also
intend to treat EU citizens with settled status in the same way as if they were UK
citizens for the purposes of education, benefits and pensions.</p><p>This will be
subject to negotiations and a reciprocal deal with the EU.</p><p>The Home Office does
not hold any data on the numbers of EU citizens in Glasgow who may have to apply for
settled status. No estimate has been made of the number of EU citizens who have immigrated
to Glasgow since 29 March 2017.</p>
