Summary
Freedom of Establishment and Free Movement of Services (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 Lord Duncan of Springbank moved that the draft Regulations laid before the House on 11 July 2019 be approved. Then Lord Stevenson of Balmacara moved, as an amendment to the motion, at end insert "but that this House regrets that the draft Regulations will remove certain rights for European Union, European Economic Area, Swiss and Turkish nationals, namely to be self-employed, own and manage a company and provide services in the United Kingdom without facing additional restrictions; further regrets the impact this may have for many long-residing individuals and families, as well as the wider consequences for the United Kingdom economy and employment; expresses concern that this change may result in the loss of rights for United Kingdom citizens resident elsewhere in the European Union, European Economic Area, Switzerland or Turkey; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to immediately and unilaterally guarantee the continuation of the relevant rights of European Union, European Economic Area, Swiss and Turkish nationals in the United Kingdom beyond exit day." After debate, the amendment was agreed to (see division). Then the original motion, as amended, was agreed to.
