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>"}
