Rejected petition Stop the Rochdale grooming gang receiving legal aid to stop their deportation

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

All individual case funding decisions are taken by the Legal Aid Agency. Ministers are prevented by law from intervening in this process.

You could start a new petition, asking the UK Parliament to change the rules on who can apply for legal aid, if that's what you'd like to happen.

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