SETTLED STATUS SCHEME

I started and finished today discussing and hearing concerns about the process the UK government has put in place for our EU friends and colleagues to apply for settled status.

First up was this visit to the Sky News studio. Later I was pleased to chair an event at Parliament hosted by The 3million campaign group and others, where MPs from all parties could hear first hand about the problems EU nationals have faced during the trial phase of the scheme.
​
I still argue the best way to avoid all these problems is for EU and UK citizens to continue to enjoy free movement rights.
