answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2017 answer text <p>We are planning to set up an application process before we leave the EU to enable those who wish to do so to get their new settled status at their earliest convenience. For those who have already obtained a certificate of their permanent residence, we will seek to make sure that the application process for settled status is as streamlined as possible.<br><br>The UK Government and the Commission have stated that providing certainty to citizens is a priority. This is why we want to reach a reciprocal agreement for EU citizens in UK and UK nationals in the EU as quickly as possible. It is already clear that there is much common ground between the UK and EU positions and we are confident that we can reach an agreement on this important issue early in negotiations.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 12/07/2017 12:14:14 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
