It is a pleasure to speak under your chairmanship, Sir Christopher. I begin by paying tribute to the hon. Member for Luton South (Rachel Hopkins) for securing the debate and expressing admiration for the extraordinary work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The commission was set up more than a century ago to honour in perpetuity the memory of 1.7 million people who died in the two world wars, overseeing cemeteries and memorials at some 23,000 locations in 154 countries. I acknowledge that Brexit has impacted the situation faced by the 30 UK nationals with UK-based contracts working in Belgium and France alongside 550 staff. These individuals were faced with two stark choices: to remain in the EU on local terms or to return to the UK due to new arrangements following the end of free movement of labour. The commission has been at pains to ensure that its employees are not disadvantaged, offering a tax repayment of £30,000 and funding removal expenses where required. Following a meeting with unions last week, the commission further decided to help those remaining in the EU by making an additional one-off payment of up to €10,000 for housing costs for the next 12 months and covering up to €5,000 for moving house if they choose to do so. All 30 employees have now confirmed their options, with 21 remaining in Europe, seven returning to the UK and two retiring.
