Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Put a permanent stop to Tier 2 visas for migrant workers

The Government should put a permanent stop on Tier 2 visas for migrant workers to encourage employment of UK workers instead

More details

Latest figures show that the Government has allocated and used 7000 work visas EVERY MONTH in 2020 whilst at the same time tens of thousands of UK workers have lost their jobs. I personally know of workers who lost their jobs and who have been replaced by Tier 2 visa workers.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
