“In Cornwall, EU citizens contribute to many of our industries, from tourism to agriculture as well working in the public sector such as the NHS.”
“Securing a deal on the rights of EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the EU has always been a key priority for the UK in these negotiations.”
“This is something that the Government was clear would be a priority as soon as Brexit negotiations started and I am pleased to see this offer bring made so early in this Parliament.”
“The UK’s overarching aim is for EU citizens to broadly continue living their lives as they do now, and for UK citizens living in EU countries to do the same. The UK’s position represents a fair and serious offer and one aimed at giving as much certainty as possible to citizens who have settled in the UK, building careers and lives and contributing so much to our society.”
“This proposal means formal negotiations on the UK’s exit from the EU can get off to a productive and constructive start.”
