Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what plans he has made to prevent UK nationals from being separated from their families if they become unable to continue to reside and work in an EU state of residence as a result of the outcome of negotiations on the UK leaving the EU.

As set out in our policy paper of 26 June, we want to provide as much certainty as possible to the three million EU citizens in the UK and around one million UK nationals in the EU, and for their lives to continue broadly as now. The precise rules around family reunion will be a matter for negotiations. Both the UK and EU have set out to provide reassurance that families should not be disrupted by this process and we are confident that a deal can be achieved.
