Closed UK citizenship for commonwealth citizens who came to the uk before the age of 16

Closed on

Change legislation to grant child immigrants from commonwealth countries automatic citizenship where they have migrated under the age of 16, after a period of 5 years residency.

Vulnerable children and minors are suffering from an Immigration system which financially and emotionally Demoralises their way of life, often only realised when they're adults. Through no fault of their own. They now call the United Kingdom home but the United Kingdom doesn’t recognise them as citizens.
