Social Security: Reciprocal Arrangements

Question for Department for Exiting the European Union

UIN HL5378, tabled on 8 February 2017

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will seek reciprocal arrangements on social security schemes with EU member states after the UK leaves the EU.

Answered on

20 February 2017

The current arrangements with member states will be subject to our negotiations with the EU. The Government is considering the various options that may be available and it would be wrong to set out unilateral positions in advance of the negotiation process. At every step of these negotiations we will work to ensure the best outcome possible for the UK.
