More than 1,700 U.K. nationals working in France’s civil service will maintain their work “status” in the case of a no-deal Brexit under a draft legislative proposal adopted by the French parliament’s special Brexit committee.

Alexandre Holroyd, a member of the committee and rapporteur for the government’s no-deal measures, said he believed the “approximately 1,715” British civil servants working mostly in the education and health departments, “must be maintained in the same status and work conditions,” after the U.K. leaves the EU in March 29 next year.
