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 Reinstate the 14 years rule for entitlement to indefinite leave to remain

Too many migrants are the victim of hostile immigration policy. We believe current rules applying to migrants who entered the country lawfully but then overstayed are inhumane and unjustified. These migrants should be entitled to indefinite leave to remain after living here for 14 years.

More details

Bringing back the 14 years rule for overstayers who entered legitimately with visa could help reduce modern slavery and also encourage migrants to come legally and not pursue dangerous and illegal routes into the UK.

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
