Petition Stop legal aid for court appeals for people entering the UK illegally

We believe that using legal aid to fund court appeals cases for people who have entered the UK illegally is not the best use of tax payer money. We would like the Government to make sure people who enter the UK illegally are not eligible for legal aid.

More details

We would prefer that tax payer money be spent on social care and other areas which are currently underfunded.
