Annotation	Following the Leave vote in the European Union (EU) Referendum on 23 June 2016, this paper sets out some possible implications for older people. The paper refers to those areas of public policy where the EU has particularly touched older people's lives: equality and human rights; health and care services; state pensions and benefits; private pensions; financial services; consumer protection; housing and energy; older British citizens abroad; and older non-British EU citizens living in the UK. It identifies Age UK's priorities in relation to these issues, and recommends the impartial briefings produced by the House of Commons Library (see: http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/res... The paper concludes that Age UK is keen to collaborate internationally, in both research and policy; and notes that the Government has guaranteed research funding for EU-funded projects signed before the 2016 Autumn Statement. Longer-term, Age UK hopes to see cross-European research into ageing continue. (RH).
