United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May today announced what is largely viewed as Brexit ‘Plan B’ to convince MPs to support her proposals for an exit strategy out of the European Union.

The headline shift in the proposals announced by May was the scrapping of a £65 fee millions EU citizens were going to have to pay to secure the right to continue living in the UK after Brexit.

The prime Minister also said she would hold more discussions with Northern Ireland’s DUP and others on their concerns about the Irish backstop.

And that she would then “take the conclusions of these discussions back to the EU”.

In respect of the Brexit agenda, millions of EU citizens living in the UK will have to apply for “settled status” to remain in Britain after Brexit.

Applicants should have lived in the UK for five years and had been expected to pay a fee of £65 each.

“Settled status” gives EU citizens the same access to health care and education after Britain leaves the EU.

May said she had listened to the concerns of EU citizens, through their campaign group the 3 million, about the fees, and they would be waived when the scheme was launched on 30 March.
