EU National Surgery


Angela Crawley MP is hosting a specialist surgery event for EU nationals living in Lanark and Hamilton East on the 21st of April between 10am and 12noon at the Hamilton Town House.

The surgery follows the uncertainty faced by thousands of Angela’s constituents that live in the UK and previously utilised their right to move freely throughout the 28 countries of the EU.

Since the Brexit decision, the Prime Minister has failed to give a guarantee that EU nationals right to remain in the UK will be protected.

Commenting, Angela said:

“Since the EU referendum decision, my inbox has been full of constituents that have come from different countries throughout the continent and chosen Scotland as their home.

“The UK Government has failed to provide my constituents with the assurance that their rights will be protected and, as their Member of Parliament, it is my duty to stand up for them and make their voice heard.

“I will continue to make the case for EU nationals right to live and work in Scotland, however it will also be useful to hear my constituents’ concerns and reflect on them in my contributions in Parliament.

“The event is open to everyone and there is no appointment is necessary.”
