No country has ever used Article 50 – it is untested. There is a great deal of uncertainty about how it would work. UK citizens living in the EU currently enjoy a range of specific rights to live, to work and access to 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.</p> answering member printed Baroness Altmann question first answered 20/04/2016 11:41:34 answering member 4533 label Biography information for Baroness Altmann
