Conclusion (the committee's words)
The Government chose not to extend the 30 June deadline for the EUSS. Although we heard support from witnesses for a short extension, this would not in itself have resolved the fundamental issues facing many EU citizens in the UK. Now the deadline itself has passed, putting appropriate protections in place for those who have missed it is all the more important. In line with the criteria in Article 18 of the Withdrawal Agreement, simply missing the deadline of 30 June 2021 must not result in the automatic rejection of an application.
