We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee

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 Negotiate a pathway for British citizens and residents to return to China

We are asking the government to communicate directly with the relevant representatives of the People's Republic of China to develop a pathway and framework for the return of the many British citizens and residents who are currently unable to return to their family, studies and livelihoods in China.

More details

On 28 March 2020, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the United Kingdom issued a notice stating that all entry to the country would be suspended, and holders of valid visas would be unable to travel. While this has now been eased somewhat, it is still virtually impossible for anyone to return to see their families or to continue their studies, and many of us have now been unable to see our families, or return to our lives in China, for at least 14 months now.
