Pupils: EU Nationals

Question for Department for Education

UIN HL1070, tabled on 7 July 2016

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the outcome of the referendum on the UK's membership of the EU, what steps they are taking to reassure young pupils from European backgrounds who fear that they may be forced to leave the UK.

As a matter of principle all children resident in the UK receive a free state-school education. We want to reassure European citizens living in the UK that there will be no immediate changes in their circumstances.
