<p>The UK Government has been clear that it wants to maintain the Common Travel Area
(CTA) and protect associated rights enjoyed by British and Irish citizens. The right
to work, study, and access social security and public services will be preserved on
a reciprocal basis for UK and Irish nationals. The UK Government, Irish Government,
and European Union all agree that the UK and Ireland can maintain these arrangements
and this has been reflected in the Joint Report between the UK and the EU. I have
written to Lord Alton of Liverpool setting out the detail of these arrangements and
this letter has been placed in the library of the house.</p>
