Lib Dems force Parliament to consider right to stay for EU citizens

by johnwilliams on 6 July, 2016

Lib Dem MP Tom Brake has tabled a Bill to be debated next Tuesday which would give EU citizens living here the right to stay in the UK.

This follows the Conservative Government and Theresa May MP refusing to give assurances to people who are living here that they will have an unconditional right to carry on doing so.  Theresa May if she becomes Prime Minister seems determined to use them as a bargaining chip.  While there is not a word from Labour.

This not acceptable to Lib Dems – as Leader Tim Farron MP said at the demonstration on the EU last Saturday ‘The Liberal Democrats will not stand by while our communities are divided by uncertainty. Regardless of the outcome of any negotiations with Europe around Brexit, EU citizens who have made Britain their home must be allowed to stay.’
