Rejected petition Protect our critical service industries during Brexit

Our science, tech and financial industries have proven to be critical to the success of the UK. London is a global financial centre with the largest city GDP in Europe, it provides the UK with many opportunities. Talented workers and investors will leave unless they are confident of their future.

More details

- The service sector contributes ~78% of our GDP

- The European Research Council is one of our biggest science funders.

- Fintech has demonstrated unprecedented economic potential over the next few years.

- Technology companies in the UK have relied on EU migration to hire shortfalls in talent.

- A "brain drain" of EU and UK nationals would be a disaster.

- These industries have all made clear their position on Brexit and their intent to relocate unless their needs are met in the UK.
