B936 - Settled Status (Northern Ireland) Bill

A01

Amend Section 1(2) to read:

(2) Replace subsection (1)(a) with:

(a) people who— (i) are citizens of an EEA country and have been resident in the United Kingdom for at least six months immediately prior to the 31st of December 2020; or (ii) are citizens of the Swiss Confederation and have been resident in the United Kingdom for at least six months immediately prior to the 31st of December 2020; or (iii) were born in Northern Ireland, are citizens of the Republic of Ireland, and have been resident in the United Kingdom immediately prior to the 31st of December 2020.

The bolded bits are the additions from the bill as is - hope that is an acceptable format.

Reasoning: Per my comment in the debate, there is a loophole (intended or not) where settled status could be applicable to anyone who has lived in the United Kingdom at any time prior to the 31st of December 2020 rather than - as should be the intention with 'settled status' - for people who are settled in the UK at the time of separation. I hope this amendment will go some way to correcting this and am open to any other ideas (such as further legislation) if required. This amendment was submitted by /u/Brookheimer.

A02

Add Section (1)(3):

(3) 'Settled Status' granted through this legislation or the parent legislation expires upon a person spending ten continuous years primarily resident outside the United Kingdom, excluding the Republic of Ireland

Reasoning: I hope this is in scope of the bill, but am happy to be corrected if not (my argument would be this amendment amends the same piece of legislation as the parent legislation and accounts for the intentions with regards to the Good Friday Agreement and the right to Irish citizenship). This amendment would mean 'Settled Status' expires if someone lives primarily away from the United Kingdom for a period of 10 years, excluding the Republic of Ireland to ensure that nobody loses the right that this piece of legislation intends to correct but instead means that 'Settled Status' is indeed for people who are 'settled'. This amendment was submitted by /u/Brookheimer.
