answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>After we leave the EU, the UK hopes to enjoy a deep and special partnership with the European Union, taking in both economic and security cooperation. This will enable prosperity for both the UK and the EU, and allow us to protect our shared European values. We want to have reached agreement about our future partnership by the time the two year Article 50 process has ended, in March 2019. From that point, we believe a time-limited, phased process of implementation will be in our mutual interests, and will help to minimise disruption on both sides. The exact details of an implementation period will be a matter for negotiation.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 18/07/2017 12:52:04 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

That is why we are clear that anyone who arrived in the UK before the date we triggered Article 50 (29 March 2017) will be covered by the UK’s proposed approach. And all EU citizens in the UK will have their rights protected under EU law until the date we leave the EU. The specific date will be subject to negotiation but will not be before the date of trigger or after the date of withdrawal.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 17/07/2017 15:06:30 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to paragraph 10 of his Department's policy paper entitled Safeguarding the position of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU, published on 26 June 2017, what additional steps people who have received permanent residence documentation will have to take in order to secure settled status.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text There is no need to do anything now. The UK will remain a member of the EU until March 2019 and there will be no change to the rights and status of EU citizens living in the UK, nor UK nationals living in the EU, during this time. Permanent residence status is linked to the UK’s membership of the EU and so will no longer be valid after we leave. Therefore EU citizens do not need to apply for documentation confirming their permanent residence status. We will be asking EU citizens to make an application to the Home Office for documentation demonstrating their new settled status in due course. We will make the process as streamlined as possible for all individuals, including those who already hold a residence document under current free movement rules. <strong>Our intention is that the grace period last up to two years, giving people plenty of time to regularise their status.</strong> Anyone who would like to find out the latest information, including when they will need to sign up for the new scheme, can sign-up for email updates here. answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 17/07/2017 07:52:21 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2017 answer text <p>Our offer applies to all EU citizens equally. We will not treat citizens of one member state differently to those of another, except regarding the special arrangements for Irish nationals. Our offer clearly sets out that EU citizens who have settled status will be treated the same as comparable UK nationals.</p><p>We have set out a fair offer to protect the rights and entitlements of EU nationals living in the UK. Settled status will be offered to those that have been continuously resident in the UK for 5 years. Those that have been here for less will be eligible for temporary leave which allows them to remain in the UK with the same broad set of rights and entitlements as they do now until they can get settled status.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 14/07/2017 10:26:50 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
