Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department will take to alert EEA citizens whose pre-settled status is about to expire to apply for settled status.

At paragraph 1.18 of the Statement of Intent on the EU Settlement Scheme, published in June 2018 (available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-statement-of-intent), the Government committed to reminding holders of pre-settled status, before its expiry, to apply for settled status.

Details of exactly how and when such reminders will be issued are currently being developed.
