answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>No decisions have yet been made on our future relationship with the EU's agencies and bodies after leaving the EU. We are considering very carefully a range of options. In most cases we anticipate that repatriated EU functions can be absorbed by existing UK departments and existing public bodies. Prior to any decisions on establishing new UK-level bodies, the Government always looks to minimise disruption and costs, which includes considering alternative options, such as the use of existing public bodies.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 15/04/2019 12:57:44 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <p>An estimated 3.4m EEA nationals currently resident in the UK are eligible for the EU Settlement Scheme (based on Home Office internal analysis of ONS Annual Population Survey (APS) data for year October 2017 to September 2018).</p><p>The Impact Assessment for the EU Settlement Scheme was published in July 2018<br> (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2018/116/pdfs/ukia_20180116_en.pdf )<br> <br>and an updated version was published in March 2019 <br>(http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2019/74/pdfs/ukia_20190074_en.pdf).</p><p>The Home Office has estimated that the total number of EEA citizens and their family members eligible to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme by the end of the planned implementation period on 31 December 2020 is likely to be between 3.5 million and 4.1 million. This estimate is based on a number of assumptions as to how the size of the eligible EEA population will change over the period. The range should be considered indicative as future migration flows can be affected by many factors and are difficult to predict.</p><p>Two reports on the private testing phases have already been published (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-1 and https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-2/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-testing-phase-2-report)</p><p>Interim statistics on the public beta phases were also referenced in the Written Statement HCWS1387WS1387 of 7 March <br>(https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-03-07/HCWS1387/ )</p><p>We will publish further data on the operation of the EU Settlement Scheme in due course.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 23/04/2019 09:59:07 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <p>The UK government has always acted to ensure that UK nationals can continue to live their lives broadly as they do now, and that remains our objective both in a deal and no deal scenario. The Withdrawal Agreement will protect the rights of around one million UK nationals in the EU and over 3 million EU citizens in the UK.</p><p>The UK cannot act unilaterally to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU and that is why we have always prioritised reaching a reciprocal agreement with the EU. The Government has been calling on Member States to protect the rights of UK nationals in a no deal scenario and we welcome the progress that has been made. All Member States have set out their no deal plans and provided some reassurances that the rights of UK nationals will be protected in the event of a no deal, but we continue to call on them to go further and match our no deal offer to EU citizens.</p><p>The Government recognises the concerns of UK nationals in the EU including those who may choose to return to the UK, and published a policy paper on 4 April 2019 setting out the steps that we have taken to address these concerns should UK nationals decide to return, regardless of whether a deal is reached with the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 23/04/2019 15:54:45 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
