The Government fully recognises that those EU citizens resident in the UK before the specific date, and UK national resident in EU Member States, enjoy access to public services such as healthcare a, education, employment and housing. We are proposing a reciprocal deal that will protect the right of UK national in the EU to continue to live and work in the EU.

This includes the ability to work in one Member State but live in another, for those to whom this applies.
