Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the number of (a) dependants, (b) spouses and (c) civil partners of non-UK EU nationals normally resident in the UK who are not in the UK on 31 March 2019 and who would be affected by the Prime Minister's proposed changes to EU citizen's rights in any transition period.

Dependent children and parents, spouses and civil partners of non-UK EU nationals who are normally resident in the UK but who are not present in the UK on 31 March 2019 are covered by the agreement on citizens’ rights reached with the EU last year, and documented in the Joint Report published on 8 December 2017. These groups of people are not affected by any negotiations concerning the rights of those arriving during the proposed implementation period.
