British Government says it will not strip European Union (EU) nationals of any rights without lawmakers' approval. Home Secretary Amber Rudd in a letter to the members of the House of Lords said nothing will change for any EU citizen, whether already resident in the UK or moving from the EU, without Parliament's approval. <br/><br/>Prime Minister Theresa May plans to trigger Article 50 of the EU's key treaty, starting two years of exit negotiations, by March 31. The House of Commons approved the bill last month and the House of Lords is scrutinizing it this week. By leaving the EU, Britain will be withdrawing from the bloc's policy of free movement of citizens among member states.
