Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2016. It occurred during Debate on Exiting the EU and Workers’ Rights.
Exiting the EU and Workers’ Rights
The Vote Leave campaign was clear that we want the Government to guarantee the rights of all legally settled workers in this country. The Government have said that everyone who is here legally is quite entitled and welcome to stay on the assumption that no one from our country who is living overseas is threatened. I do not believe that any of our European partner countries will threaten any of our people who are legally settled in those countries, so I think it is more or less absolutely guaranteed that everybody is welcome to stay and that the British Government have absolutely no plan to suggest that they should not be.
