Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, if he will make it his policy that nationals from other EU countries who are resident in the UK will be able to remain in the UK after the UK has left the EU.

The rights retained by EU nationals here and British citizens in other EU states once the UK has left the European Union will be agreed during the course of negotiations. The Government fully expects that the legal status of EU nationals in the UK will be properly protected when we leave the EU. We also expect the same for British nationals in other EU Member States.
