Committee calls on government to offer an immediate commitment to EU scientists and engineers currently living and working in Britain
EU researchers who have come to Britain must be allowed to stay, according to a cross-party group MPs who are calling on the government to offer an immediate commitment to those who have already made Britain their home.
The MPs on the Commons science and technology committee want EU scientists and other researchers exempted from wider immigration controls that will be up for discussion in the UK's negotiations with Europe over its departure from the union.
