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 Stop the Illegal Migration Bill

Simply, do not allow this bill to become law! We believe this bill, that would permanently ban illegal immigrants from re-entering the UK and applying for British citizenship, is draconian and will not fulfil its purpose of stopping boats from crossing the Channel.

More details

This bill is opposed by the Refugee Council, which has said "The plans won’t stop the crossings but will simply leave traumatised people locked up in a state of misery being treated as criminals and suspected terrorists without a fair hearing on our soil."

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
