Also on hand, Sadia Khan from Citizens Advice Scotland, who told how she and her colleagues are on hand to help with the process. Mr Paterson, MSP for Clydebank and Milngavie, said: “It was clear from this event that many of my EU constituents have anxieties about their future within the UK. “I was very glad to have Pawel and Sadia at the meeting to provide such useful information for EU citizens looking for settled status and to answer their many concerns. “It is important at this time that we reach out to EU citizens and reassure them they are welcome in Scotland, and always will be. “In this growing anti-immigrant climate pushed by Boris Johnson’s government, we have to do our best to reach out to these affected communities.” ENDS |
