Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the powers granted under section 8 (2) of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020, when a scheme for the issuance of Frontier Worker’s documents under Article 26 of the Withdrawal Agreement will be implemented.

Regulations will be made under section 8(2) of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 protecting the rights of EEA and Swiss citizens who are frontier working into the UK by 31 December 2020 and establishing a scheme to enable them to apply for a frontier worker document to prove their right to enter the UK for work after that date.
