Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 10 July 2017 to Question 2790, on immigration: EU nationals, what criteria for (a) conduct and (b) criminality will be employed when assessing applications for settled status by non-UK EU citizens living in the UK.

Applications for settled status by non-UK EU citizens will be refused on grounds of public policy if on the basis of their conduct or criminality they represent a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat to the fundamental interests of society in the UK. Applications will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

This will be subject to negotiations and a reciprocal deal with the EU.
