answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2016 answer text <p>British citizens living in the EU currently enjoy a range of specific rights to live, to work and to access pensions, health care and public services that are only guaranteed because of EU law. There would be no requirement under EU law for these rights to be maintained if the UK left the EU. Should an agreement be reached to maintain these rights, the expectation must be that this would have to be reciprocated for EU citizens in the UK.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 27/04/2016 14:06:09 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government in the event of the UK leaving the EU what advice they plan to give to UK citizens who work or live in EU member states related to their legal rights generally, their rights related to UK pensions and to medical care paid for under the NHS social security system, and their right to travel across EU without the need of visas.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2016 answer text UK citizens get a range of rights from our membership of the EU. If the UK were to leave the EU, all of these rights would have to be covered in a successor arrangement. If we left the EU without agreeing what would happen to these rights, it would at the very least bring them into serious question, creating difficulty for UK citizens who relied on them. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 27/04/2016 14:55:52 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
