answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2019 answer text <p><br>A person’s continuity of residence in the UK for the purposes of eligibility un-der the EU Settlement Scheme is broken when they serve a sentence of im-prisonment. They will therefore not generally be eligible to apply to the scheme while they are serving that sentence.</p><p>Only where a person has already acquired the right of permanent residence under EU law, or has already completed a continuous qualifying period of five years’ residence in the UK, will a sentence of imprisonment not affect their eligibility, or that of their third country national family members, to apply under the scheme and only then if the sentence is not serious enough to lead to their deportation. <br> <br>Official statistics – ‘EU Settlement Scheme quarterly statistics, August 2019’ – providing detailed information regarding operation of the scheme were pub-lished on 22 August 2019. These can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/eu-settlement-scheme-statistics-august-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/eu-settlement-scheme-statistics-august-2019</a></p><p>The Home Office is committed to publishing more detailed quarterly statistics on the EU Settlement Scheme.
