Lords vote to keep Britons' free movement rights The UK’s House of Lords has voted 245 to 218 for Britain to stay in the European Economic Area – a ‘soft’ Brexit which would safeguard expats’ automatic right to live and work in the EU.
Could Britain remain in EEA? New Brexit legal action is being planned over the question of whether or not Britain leaving the EU would also mean it automatically leaving the wider EEA group of countries – potentially a crucial issue for expat rights.
