Diane Abbott
MP, Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary, commenting on the Government admitting that the current system
for EU citizens applying for permanent residency in the UK is unfit, said:
“Labour
consistently argued that the Government’s plans were unfair and unworkable. Now
the government has conceded as much.
"But
a lot of uncertainty remains, which affects both UK citizens living in the EU
as well as EU citizens here. The Government needs to give clarity on what it
has agreed, and to stick to its word. Labour has always argued for guaranteed
rights for UK and EU citizens.”
