Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 20 July 2017 to Question 4682, how an EU citizen will (a) know and (b) prove he or she has deemed leave.

Deemed leave will apply to all EU citizens (and their family members) who are lawfully resident in the UK on the date of exit. The Government will publish clear guidance on who will benefit from deemed leave on GOV.UK.

Deemed leave will be granted by Order, which will set out the conditions required in order for EU citizens and their family members to benefit from that leave. Such leave does not require an application or documentation proving that such leave is held.
