Those arriving in the UK between 1948 and 1971 from the Caribbean have been labelled the Windrush generation The Home Office did not keep a record of those granted leave to remain or issue any paperwork confirming it, making it difficult for Windrush arrivals to prove they are in the UK legally.

Amber Rudd stepped down on 29 April, given that Theresa May spent a significant amount of time as home sec, she too, should also be held accountable for the scandal, and follow Rudd to step down.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The resignation of an MP/Minister would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.

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