Protecting the rights of both UK Nationals living in the EU and EU citizens living in the UK is an absolute priority for the Government. I am writing to set out the actions that the Government is taking to protect the rights of UK Nationals living in the EU if we leave the EU without a deal.

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to let you know that the government is today delivering on the Prime Minister’s promise, made during his first week in office, to create a new Office for Veterans’ Affairs at the heart of government.

These are exciting times for the UK as we prepare to leave the EU and take advantage of all the opportunities it brings our country. The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy is at the forefront of this, with a mission to build a stronger, greener future for our nation.

Dear Colleague,

Dear Colleague,

When people voted in the EU referendum, they voted for a better future for this country. But years of delay and indecision by politicians means the change they hoped for hasn’t yet been delivered.

Last month, I wrote to you setting out the details of the government’s significant investment in schools over the next three years. Today, I have announced what this means for schools and local authorities.

Dear Colleague,

Today the Government has laid a Command Paper providing Parliament and the public with further information on what will change if we leave the European Union without a deal, and what the Government is doing to prepare.

The UK is leaving the EU on 31 October and the Government I lead wants to leave with a deal. There is very little time to negotiate a new agreement between the UK and the EU.

Thank you for that welcome… And can I welcome my mum? You saw her in that video, and she is here with us today for her first conference.

Twenty years ago, Mum thought it was a big deal when she watched the first Asians move into Coronation Street here in Manchester.
