Tomorrow, I will be presenting evidence on behalf of @The3Million to @CommonsEUexit with my colleague @citizen689, alongside @BritishInEurope. Despite being outside the media spotlight, the issue of citizens' rights is still acute, with many points outstanding 1/15

There are 14 main issues we want to highlight:
1. Draft Withdrawal Agreement (WA) - What is included; what it isn't

2. Lifelong right to return (or rather lack of)

3. Ring-fencing citizens' rights deal to mitigate risk of 3 million EU citizens becoming 'illegal immigrants' on 29 March 2019

4. How will the Withdrawal Agreement be implemented in UK law (so EU citizens have guarantee they can get on their their lives)

5. How much certainty is there for EU citizens? (not many at the moment)

6. How will settled status be implemented?

7. How the Government is planning to engage with 3.6 million EU citizens?

parliament.uk/business/commi… 8/15

8. Has there been any progress about the 150 questions the3million submitted to immigration minister @carolinenokes in April? So far, none

9. What's the difference between a declaratory or a constitutive settled status scheme? The answer is the #HostileEnvironment

10. What about vulnerable EU citizens at risk? Who are they? How do we talk to them and gain their trust?

11. How do we rate the Government’s proposed support (home visits, library appointments, phone calls)?

12. The issue with the immigration data exemption in the Data Protection Act 2018. How can we trust the system if the Home Office can cover up its errors? (reminder: current error rate is 10%)

parliament.uk/business/commi… … 13/15

13. What about the hostile environment? How can we prevent EU citizens being targeted?

parliament.uk/business/commi… 14/15

14. What about the ‘independent authority’ to police the Home Office and the 3.6 million applications? Here, the words 'Independent' and 'Authority' matter, meaning it cannot sit within the British State
