<p>We set out our proposals for safeguarding the rights of EU nationals living in
the UK and UK nationals living in the EU in our policy document published on 26 June.
Negotiations on citizens’ rights are ongoing and we are now within touching distance
of an agreement. Whilst there remain differences on the issue of family reunion, we
have been clear that we are willing to consider what further reassurance we can provide
to existing families of EU residents here - even if they are not currently living
together in the UK</p><p><br>Whilst no formal assessment has been made of the effect
of income requirements on EU citizens wishing to bring non-EU spouses into the UK
after the UK has left the EU, the Supreme Court has endorsed the policy on the basis
that it prevents burdens on the taxpayer and ensures migrant families have the financial
means to support themselves and their family.</p>
