Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what evidence EU citizens not yet able to establish the five years' continuous residence necessary to obtain settled status but who were resident before the specified date will have to provide to ensure that they will be given temporary status.

The Home Office will set out in due course what evidence may be provided. We are committed to creating a streamlined and user-friendly applications system using existing government data to minimise the burden of documentary evidence required.
