No automatic deportation for EU citizens from UK who miss settled status deadline, guyverhofstadt says
Mr Verhofstadt told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he believed those who missed the deadline would still be able to apply for settled status after"giving grounds why it was not possible to do it within the normal procedures".In October last year, Home Office minister Brandon Lewis"If EU citizens until this point of time have not registered and have no adequate reason for it, then the valid immigration rules will be applied.
In an interview for the BBC's Politics East programme, to be shown on Sunday, he said his focus was on encouraging people to apply now. Responding to his comments, the Home Office said:"There is no change to our digital approach. It has always been the case that people could print a copy of their confirmation letter, but this can't be used as evidence of status."
