Petition · past parliament

Immediately guarantee right to remain in UK to all resident EU citizens

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the EU referendum, EU citizens currently resident have no security here. This is appalling for them and their families, ruinous for the economy and offensive to the vast majority of people. It also puts at risk the future of UK citizens resident elsewhere in the EU.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Allow EU citizens to remain in the UK after exit from the EU with same rights
