Home Office written question – answered at on 25 July 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps the Government has taken since the EU referendum to ensure that nationals of other EU countries living in the UK are made welcome and supported.
The Government recognises the invaluable contribution European nationals make to our economy, our society and to our daily lives and we continue to welcome them to the UK.
The Government has repeatedly stated that there will be no immediate changes in the circumstances of European nationals and their family members entering or currently residing in the UK and we have published guidance on gov.uk which makes this clear.
The Government wants to be able to guarantee the legal status of EU nationals who are living in the UK, and we are confident that we will be able to do this. But we must also win the same rights for British nationals living in European countries, and it will be a priority for the Government to achieve those things together.
