The UK’s offer on citizens rights is set out in the policy paper “Safeguarding the position of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU” and seeks to ensure that EU citizens in the UK retain their rights to residence, benefits and pensions, and access to services, including healthcare and education. It makes clear that the UK expects reciprocity for UK nationals living in the EU in return for its offer which we believe is a fair and serious one.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 24/07/2017 14:50:16 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
