	question text	Her Majesty's Government, in the light of the offer to UK citizens living in other EU member states made by the EU on 22 May, why the Prime Minister made a separate, and different, offer to EU citizens living in the UK on 22 June; whether they intend to negotiate to bring those two offers into line; and if so, how.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2017 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has always been clear that our first priority is to reach agreement on the post-exit position of EU citizens now living in the UK and of UK nationals and living in other EU countries. The UK’s offer on citizens rights is set out in the policy paper “Safeguarding the position of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU” and seeks to ensure that EU citizens in the UK retain their rights to residence, benefits and pensions, and access to services, including healthcare and education. It makes clear that the UK expects reciprocity for UK nationals living in the EU in return for its offer which we believe is a fair and serious one.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 24/07/2017 14:50:16 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
