The Home Office will continue to run the EU Settlement Scheme, with no changes to the basis for qualifying under the scheme.</p><p>This demonstrates the UK Government’s ongoing commitment to citizens and removes any ambiguity over their future.</p><p>We are calling for EU Member States to offer the same protections to UK nationals in the EU. Some countries have committed already to do so, and we hope others will do the same shortly. We have instructed our Ambassadors to engage with EU counterparts to urge them to make the same commitment to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU.<strong><br></strong></p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 10/12/2018 15:50:37 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>The UK has not agreed that Gibraltar will be excluded from the territorial scope of the future relationship between the EU and the UK. The UK, in a letter to the EU Council, and the Council, in the minutes of the Special November Council, set out their shared interpretation that Article 184 of the Withdrawal Agreement, which concerns the UK and the EU’s future relationship, imposes no obligations regarding the territorial scope of future agreements. The UK also made clear we will only agree a deal on the future which works for the whole UK family and we will negotiate a deal that works for Gibraltar.</p><p>The Article 50 Council guidelines are an internal matter for the Council in Article 50 format. Statements or actions by the EU institutions or other member states have no effect on the United Kingdom’s sovereignty over Gibraltar.</p><p>On Gibraltar, we have worked constructively with both the EU and the Government of Gibraltar throughout the process of agreeing the Withdrawal Agreement. We have ensured that Gibraltar is covered by both the Withdrawal Agreement and by the Implementation Period. We look forward to taking a similar approach for the future.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 10/12/2018 15:39:32 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
