<p>We have considered carefully the introduction of the EU Settlement Scheme and its
implications for EU citizens and their family members.</p><p>Exempting any cohort
of EU citizen from the requirement to apply to the scheme could leave them at a disadvantage
because they may be unable to demonstrate their entitlements to employment, benefits
and services in the same way that other EU citizens who had applied to the scheme
would be able to.</p><p><br>We are clear that we want all resident EU citizens to
stay and have de-signed the EU Settlement Scheme to make the application process as
simple and easy as possible for all cohorts of applicants.</p>
