PCPs are accountable to the constituent local authorities within their PCC’s force area which nominate members to the Panel.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 14/05/2018 16:08:41 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>It is vital that the over three million non-UK EU citizens and their family members living in the UK understand how and when to apply under the settlement scheme.

In addition, we have a well-established programme of stakeholder engagement, including businesses and EU citizens’ representatives.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 14/05/2018 16:07:59 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

The Government is considering very carefully a range of options, but where there is a demonstrable national interest in pursuing a continued relationship with an EU body, we will carefully examine whether we should pursue this. This will be a matter for negotiations.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 14/05/2018 16:11:25 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
