	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>We have considered carefully the introduction of the EU Settlement Scheme and its implications for EEA and Swiss citizens and their family members, including whether we should automatically grant leave to remain. However, this would create ongoing confusion amongst EEA and Swiss citizens, their family members, employers and service providers as to their rights to remain in the UK and access benefits and services.</p><p><br>Requiring EEA and Swiss nationals to apply for and receive a status via the EU Settlement Scheme is key to ensuring life continues smoothly for them in the future. This will become particularly important when we move into the future immigration system as the resident population will need to be able to distinguish themselves from those who may have different rights.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 07/03/2019 18:19:43 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
