Our response to the UK Government’s proposals for EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals living in the EU.

Josh Hardie, CBI Deputy Director-General, said:

“Business will welcome these proposals as an important first step. Protecting the rights of EU citizens here and UK citizens abroad is the right priority at the outset of the negotiations, and firms will look forward to an early resolution of this issue.

“Both sides need to provide reassurance for millions of employees, giving certainty for businesses and starting to build real momentum to the negotiations.

“Companies will also expect a low-cost, speedy and simple solution to be put in place for EU citizens to establish their right to settlement in the UK.”

The Home Office has produced a factsheet summarising its proposals.
