So far people have posed questions covering healthcare, problems with getting an appointment for a carte de sejour residency permit at local prefectures and issues affecting those who own second homes in France. 

One person has asked if France will support the 'Costa amendement', referring to an amendment that gained the backing of the UK government this week, which is aimed at protecting the rights of Brits after Brexit from Conservative MP Alberto Costa.

Loiseau has suggested that questions could cover topics such as how Brexit will affect Britons in France, how businesses could be affected, and what Brexit could mean for students with plans to study in the UK.

A law covering the rights of Britons living in France in the case of a no-deal Brexit was published by the French government in February however while it was supposed to ease the concerns, many have found that it's only thrown up more questions about their situation and what the future holds for them.

I have to say I found this session of little practical value. Many of the questions of key concern to expat Brits went unanswered (including my own) not least because they need to be answered not by a Minister for Europe but by someone from the Minsistry of the Interior (who are the appropriate ministry for questions about cartes de sejour). In addition much of the space and time available was taken up by some troll posting pointless and insulting comments.
