## Transcript

EU citizens make an invaluable contribution to our United Kingdom, to our economy, to our public services, and our everyday lives. They are an integral part of the economic, cultural and social fabric of our country and I've always been clear that I want to protect their rights, but Mr Speaker that agreement must be reciprocal because we must protect the rights of UK citizens living in EU member states too. First, we want certainty. I know there's been some anxiety about what would happen to EU citizens at the point we leave the European Union. [ NOISE ] Today, I want to put that anxiety to rest.

I want to completely reassure people that under these plans, no EU citizen, currently in the UK lawfully will be asked to leave at the point the UK leaves the EU We want you to stay. Yeah. Any EU citizen in the UK with five years continuous residence at a specified cache of date will be granted settled status. They will be treated as if they were UK citizens for healthcare, education benefits and pensions. False no families will be split up. Family dependants who join a qualifying EU citizens here before the UK's exit will be able to apply for settled status after five years. And after the UK has left the European Union, EU citizens with settled status will be able to bring family members from overseas on the same terms as British nationals.
