Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what infringement proceedings against the United Kingdom by the European Commission are ongoing in respect of citizens’ rights and freedom of movement; and whether they intend to report to Parliament on these proceedings, and if so, how.

There are currently no infringement cases against the UK before the Court of Justice of the European Union.

In 2020, the European Commission launched infringement case INFR (2020)2202 against the UK. The case concerns the implementation of aspects of the Free Movement Directive into UK law while the UK was an EU Member State and during the transition period.

The proceedings are ongoing, and on 25 October, the UK Government responded to a Reasoned Opinion which had been issued by the European Commission on 25 July.

There are no immediate plans to report to Parliament on these proceedings but this will be kept under review.
