What the petition asks

The uncertainty of the right of e.u. citizens currently residing in the U.K. to stay is worrying.

I am calling for parliament to clarify wether said rights will remain in place as I believe the majority of U.K. citizens agree they should.
Vote leave or remain, it doesn't matter which way you voted.

If you are, like myself a normal compassionate person, you will understand that the uncertainty of the right of e.u. citizens currently residing in the U.k. to stay post Brexit is somewhat worrying.

This issue needs clearing up as a priority to provide alleviation to the worries of affected persons.

I am calling for parliament to clarify wether said rights will remain in place post Brexit.
