Matt Rodda Labour MP for Reading Central
“This week I spoke in the EU Withdrawal Bill Debate. I discussed the impact of the Government’s Brexit Deal on my constituents in Reading and Woodley. In particular, I raised the uncertainty faced by the families and businesses of EU nationals in my constituency.
EU Nationals make up 12.8% of staff at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, as well as providing a large proportion of local social care workers. This is not to mention the large number of tech start-ups in the Thames Valley which are run or staffed by EU Nationals. ”
