Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Counsel General – in the Senedd at 2:37 pm on 22 March 2017.
My constituency contains representatives of every European country, with the possible exception of Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, and I can assure the Counsel General that this is not something that is being whipped up. It has led to a spike in derogatory remarks being directed at people who come from other European countries. I’m particularly concerned about those who’ve lived in this country for many years, who have brought up children in this country, who are British citizens, and yet face the prospect, at the moment, of being asked to leave this country even though this is where their families live. Could you tell us whether children have any rights in this situation and what is the right of their parents to continue to live in the same country with them?
