How many British citizens have applied for passports of other EU countries since the Brexit vote and how many have moved to other EU countries?
Dear Department for Exiting the European Union,
Please tell me how many British citizens have applied for passports of other EU countries since the Brexit vote and how many have moved to other EU countries?
Further to my request in August last year. Your department presumably is responsible for considering the effect of Britain leaving the EU on British citizens. Last year you said that you did not hold information on UK citizens applying for passports of other European Union countries or moving to other EU countries.
This must be a hugely important side effect of the vote in the referendum. I would like to know now what monitoring is the UK Government doing on this issue and what steps the Department for Exiting the European Union is taking to evaluate this effect on British citizens?
Yours faithfully,
Kiron Reid
