The Department will carry out a public consultation later this autumn, which will set out the changes needed to the guidance on the issue and use of permits.</p><p> </p><p>Until exit negotiations are concluded, the UK remains a full member of the European Union and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force. During this period the Government will continue to negotiate, implement and apply EU legislation.
