They will continue to be able to access benefits and services on the same basis after we exit the EU as they do now, subject to any future domestic policy changes which apply to UK nationals.</p><p>In a no deal, all Member States have now made commitments to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU and have guaranteed that UK nationals legally resident by exit day will be able to stay. UK nationals can find details of each system on the FCO “living in guides” on gov.uk.</p><p>On 27 February the House supported an amendment tabled by Alberto Costa MP to seek a joint UK-EU commitment to adopt Part II of the Withdrawal Agreement whatever the outcome of negotiations. The Government has since written to Michel Barnier twice to propose a ‘joint UK-EU commitment to adopt Part II of the Withdrawal Agreement whatever the outcome of negotiations’.</p><p>Michel Barnier has been very clear that the Withdrawal Agreement is the best way to protect the rights of citizens. The Government is now carefully considering our response and will continue working towards safeguarding the rights of UK nationals in the EU and EU citizens in the UK in all scenarios.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 02/07/2019 16:01:48 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
