EU Exit Negotiations

"The EU is stopping the co-operation, which has been very good, between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. That could continue, but the EU is stopping it. Is it not time that the Government said so?..."

EU Exit Negotiations

"I welcome the Secretary of State’s firm rebuttal of the ridiculous idea that Northern Ireland would be taken out of the rest of the United Kingdom and made to stay in a customs union. Does he also recognise that the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee recently met the head of customs …..."

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Written Question
Immigration: EEA Nationals
Friday 17th March 2017

Asked by: Baroness Hoey (Non-affiliated - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether negotiations to secure the rights of EU citizens resident in the UK after the UK leaves the EU will also include securing the rights of EEA citizens who reside in the UK.

Answered by David Jones

Reaching an early agreement to secure the status of EU, EEA and Swiss nationals in the UK is a top priority for the government. The only circumstance in which this would not be possible is if the status of UK nationals is not protected in return.

The government recognises and values the important contribution made by EU and other non-UK citizens who work, study and live in the UK.
