Poles will be able to stay in Britain after Brexit: Daily Telegraph

All EU citizens living in the United Kingdom will probably be allowed to stay on after the country leaves the EU, reports the Daily Telegraph, based on information from the British Home Office. According to Home Office research, over 80 percent of the 3.6 million EU citizens living in the UK will have the right to residency by the time the UK leaves the EU. This will legally prevent their deportation. The remainder – around 600,000 – would be granted amnesty, allowed them to remain in the country. Poles constitute the largest group of EU citizens in Britain, numbering around 916,000. The Telegraph stressed, however, that the amnesty plan is in the early stages of preparation and has not yet been accepted by the British government. Moreover, this solution is likely to provoke considerable political controversy, especially among supporters of “hard Brexit."
