Closed petition Accept Commonwealth applicants to the Royal Navy after 3 year's residence

Commonwealth citizens wishing to apply to the Royal Navy must have been continuously resident in the UK for five years. I believe this should be reduced to three years, to make it easier for Commonwealth citizens to join the Royal Navy.

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
