As the Prime Minister said in Munich in respect of data protection, we envisage an ongoing role for the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>There are other agencies, such as those related to our future security partnership, that the UK may seek to remain a part of. Where there is a demonstrable national interest in pursuing a continued relationship with an agency or other EU body the Government will carefully examine whether we should pursue this. Our future relationship with the EU's agencies will ultimately be a matter for the negotiations.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 13/03/2018 12:45:48 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2018 answer text <p>EU treaty provisions state that only citizens of EU Member States are able to hold EU citizenship. Therefore, when the UK ceases to be a member of the European Union, British nationals will no longer hold EU citizenship, unless they hold dual nationality with another EU Member State.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>However, we know that in the future, many UK nationals will wish to continue to travel, live and work within the European Union, just as EU citizens will still wish to do so in the UK.
