IET Members and BREXIT

Michael Wrigley
As the crunch date in March approaches, I can only express a degree of surprise that it appears to me that the IET has not considered it necessary to give any advice to the one thousand (in round figures) IET Members in the European Union countries outside the UK. As a "Professional Home for Life", shouldn't it be taking an interest in its Members' situation?

At the very least, the attention of IET Members in France should be drawn to the website of the British Community Committee where they will find some good advice:
http://www.britishinfrance.com/

Of course, if all these people have already acquired a French passport then there is no need but, somehow, I doubt it.

As an addendum, I have just noticed that those who are living in France on a UK pension have suffered from the Sterling devaluation of no less than 25% over the last three and a half years. That's not nice by any standard.

    I thin k the lack of supporting information is quite right, until the IET has a positive outcome from HMG on which to base advice then none is better than wrong advice. I am sure that there are people working hard at Stevenage Towers to try and maintain an up to date view on the current and emerging situation. I think that your link to the web site provides a good advice to those who feel that they need some positive action before HMG arrives at its conclusion. I am sure that following news lately you can see that it is almost impossible to predict what the outcome is going to be. As you also indicate many of the 'ex-Pats' working across the current EU are also worried, but many may well have already taken advice and are following up on it.


    Meilleurs vœux.
