Read our privacy policy The British government could potentially strip European Union citizens already living in UK of their right to stay, David Cameron has said. The Prime Minister said though he wanted EU citizens to stay, a future government could send EU citizens home in retaliation for British citizens living abroad being sent back to the UK. “The only circumstance I could ever envisage a future government trying to undo that guarantee would be if British citizens in other European countries didn’t have their rights respected. The future Prime Minister will be working to give that guarantee as fast we can.” Mr Cameron was responding to a question by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who accused the Government of providing “no clear answer” on the issue.
