Petition No to 10,000

More details

About 10,000 foreign and Commonwealth men annually were using marriage as a means to live and work in the UK in 1979, when the newly-elected Conservative Government promised to end this concession.
It did not.
As a result, some 300,000 men live in these islands through having found someone to marry.
This e-petition calls on the present Coalition Government to close this loophole.
