London Mayor wants EU nationals to remain in UK

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan on Tuesday stepped up calls for the British government to offer a “cast-iron guarantee” to European Union nationals on their right to remain in the UK after Brexit, a media report said on Tuesday. Speaking at an event in Brussels, Khan said an offer to 3.3 million EU nationals, one million of whom are Londoners, would be “the perfect gesture of goodwill” and urged the rest of the EU to make the same move, the Guardian said. Khan is visiting the Belgian capital a day before the British government plans to trigger the two-year process that will end Britain’s EU membership in 2019.
