Emigration: EU Countries

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions his Department has had with other EU member states on ensuring a positive environment for UK citizens wishing to move to an EU country after the UK leaves the EU.

Answer: âMy department, in close coordination with other government departments, continues to engage intensively with EU Member States to support British Nationals living in and travelling to the EU. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has significantly increased the capacity of our Europe network; our Embassies and Consulates are in close and regular contact with their host governments. The UK will seek to agree reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU. The detail of how these provisions will apply under the future relationship will be for future negotiations with the EU.
