Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reasons UK actors auditioning to work in EU countries are being asked by theatre companies and arts organisations to provide current EU passports; and if he will make a statement.

Pre-employment checks by theatre companies and organisations employing UK nationals to work in other EU countries are a matter for those organisations. Until the UK leaves the EU, UK nationals continue to have the same rights to live and work in other EU member states as they do now.
