FREE BRITISH PASSPORT UPGRADE (Amendment 1)
leave out from 'Eu' to end and insert 'means the loss of UK citizens' ability to live, work, love, travel and study freely across 27 other EU member states; further believes that having a blue and gold passport will not make up for the loss of freedoms and rights associated with holding an EU passport; is concerned that those who choose to keep these freedoms and citizenship rights face having them taken away against their will in the event that the UK leaves the EU; and calls on the Government to allow British people to individually opt-in and retain their EU citizenship if the UK leaves the EU.'.
