<p>The Government’s policy paper (Cm 9464), which was laid before Parliament on 26
June, sets out our proposals for enabling European Union citizens residing in the
UK before a specified cut off date (to be confirmed, but between 29 March 2017 and
exit) to continue to live and work here. After five years’ continuous residence, they
will be able to apply for UK settled status. There are no plans to differentiate according
to work sector.</p><p>The details of the new scheme will be subject to negotiations.
We will publish further detail on the specifics of the new application process, including
detailed eligibility criteria and requirements, in due course.</p>
