<p>The UK Government currently does not plan to pay the Settled Status Fee for its
non-UK EU citizen employees. The fee is set at an affordable rate (£65), less than
the cost of an UK passport.</p><p>● Outsourced workers are not employees of the Department
and therefore this would be a decision for their employers.</p><p>● The number of
non-UK EU citizens employed across the Civil Service is not consistently collected
across Government. It is therefore not possible to estimate the cost of paying the
settled status fee for non-UK EU nationals employed directly by the department.</p><p>●
We value the significant contribution made by EU citizens working in the Civil Service
and we want these colleagues to continue to play a full role in the work of the Civil
Service. We are committed to supporting our EU citizen employees across the Civil
Service, the important engagement with EU national networks across government will
continue over the coming months.</p>
