MP puts PM on spot over his parents

During PMQs, MP Alberto Costa - whose parents are Italian citizens but have lived in the UK for 50 years - asked the prime minister for assurance that he, as a Conservative MP, would never be asked to vote on legislation to take away the UK residency rights of people like his parents.

Mrs May said "I want, intend and expect to be able to guarantee the rights of those EU citizens who are living here in the UK", but added that she wanted to see the residency rights of UK citizens in the EU guaranteed too.
