EU citizens living in the UK would be stripped of their freedom of movement, housing and social security rights by Home Office legislation introduced to regulate immigration following Brexit, a parliamentary report has warned.
Despite repeated government reassurances that their privileges will be protected, a study by the joint committee on human rights (JCHR) concludes that more than 3 million Europeans living in Britain would be left in legal “limbo”.
The cross-party committee, whose members are drawn from the Commons and the Lords, argues that EU citizens’ rights should be protected by primary legislation rather than reliant on statutory instruments approved by ministers at a later date.

Has the above article in today's Guardian put a stop to all what we believe that people are covered with Settled Status (ILR)? It touched on statutory instrument been used to grant the Settled status as oppose to a primary legislation and also the fact there is no physical proof of status.
Very interesting read.
