the EU Settlement Scheme is broken when they serve a sentence of imprisonment. They

sentence.</p><p>This is consistent with EU law on free movement, as currently given
effect in the UK by the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016. This
provision applies to children in detention as it does for all applicants to the EU
Settlement Scheme.</p>
