THE GOVERNMENT has said there's less than six months for European citizens to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme.
The deadline for submission is June 30 and statistics published yesterday reveal that, on December 31, there was almost 4.9 million applications.
This includes 4.4 million applications in England, 243,600 in Scotland, 80,700 in Wales and 78,500 in Northern Ireland.
The EU Settlement Scheme was launched in March last year and at its height Home Office caseworkers processed 20,000 applications a day.
