Progress has finally been made as the agreement between Britain and the EU was approved by all parties today. Here is a summary of the issues as they relate to immigration:
- EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the rest of the EU have the right to stay. Rights of their children and those of partners in existing “durable relationships” are also guaranteed.
- UK courts will preside over enforcing rights over EU citizens in Britain but can refer unclear cases to the European court of justice for eight years after withdrawal.
