This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure exactly what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

It's not clear whether you would like immigrants to the UK to be prevented by law from transferring money out of the UK, or whether you would like to remove entitlements to benefits (such as child benefit) for family members who are not resident in the UK.

If you could make your request clearer, we could look at this again.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
