<p>The Government has repeatedly stated that there will be no immediate changes in
the circumstances of European nationals and their family members entering or currently
residing in the UK. We have published guidance on gov.uk which makes this clear.</p><p>The
Government want to be able to guarantee the legal status of EU nationals who are living
in the UK, and we are confident that we will be able to do this. But we must also
win the same rights for British nationals living in European countries, and it will
be a priority for the Government to achieve those things together.</p><p>As part of
this process, the Home Secretary will continue to work closely with colleagues across
Whitehall and the Government will engage with relevant stakeholders.</p><p>Article
70 of the Vienna Convention applies to States only. It does not create rights for
individuals. Nevertheless, we would expect to deal with the rights of EU nationals
already living in the UK and the rights of UK citizens living in other EU member states
as part of the UK’s exit negotiations.</p>
