PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Civil Servants: EEA Nationals (7 January 2019)

Question Asked

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he plans to change paragraph 1.20 of the civil service nationality rules guidance in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

Asked by:
Alison McGovern (Labour)

Answer

There are currently no plans to change paragraph 1.20 of the Civil Service Nationality Rules guidance in the unlikely scenario that the UK leaves the EU without a deal. EEA nationals who are civil servants on exit day will be able to continue to be civil servants; and it will continue to be possible for the civil service to recruit EEA nationals.
