Lobbying MEPs on citizens rights

[Fred]

I've had another reply from a Labour MEP

I agree with you that the Brexit negotiations have been frustratingly slow especially with regards to the rights of EU citizens living in the UK and UK citizens living in the EU.

While both the UK Government and the EU27 said this was a priority, it is now over a year since the referendum and we still don't have any answers.

I completely appreciate how difficult this must be for you personally. It is wrong you have been left with such uncertainty.

As a group who campaigned hard for and voted to Remain, I would like to assure you that Labour MEPs are working closely with British in Europe on your behalf and are making your case in the European Parliament and in the UK.

I am always keen to highlight stories like yours in the news at home. When people in the UK realise we are talking about individuals who used to live in their local area, and so are really just like them, we get more sympathy for your cause, which in turn puts the Government under pressure. If you'd be happy for me to do this, please let me know.

Once again, thank you for contacting me and I am sorry it is under these circumstances.
