Migration Watch UK press comment – UK’s offer on EU citizens’ status post-Brexit | Migration Watch UK

Commenting, Lord Green of Deddington, Chairman of Migration Watch UK, said:

This is a very generous offer that fully respects the reasonable demands of EU citizens who have made their lives here. Despite previous scaremongering, no one will be asked to go home.

“Clearly there needs to be some form of judicial oversight of the rights of EU nationals in the UK. This cannot possibly be the ECJ. Having decided to leave the EU, the public would never accept the jurisdiction of a foreign court over our internal affairs.”
