Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the EU Settlement Scheme for EU citizens.
EU citizens make a huge contribution to our economy and society, and we want them to stay. The EU Settlement Scheme enables them to do so, in line with the draft Withdrawal Agreement. The scheme provides a simple, streamlined process for resident EU citizens and their family members to obtain their new UK immigration status. The scheme is being implemented on a phased basis and will be fully open by 30 March 2019.
