Invite 50 refugee children to have Iftar with Prime Minister David Cameron.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We want to see 50 refugee children in the UK from a Muslim background to have Iftar with the Prime Minister David Cameron at 10 Downing Street. It is Ramadan, and it would be a good idea for our PM to do Something amazing, let's not forget the children refugees from WW2 contributed a lot to Britain.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This would be a personal decision for the Prime Minister, not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament as a whole.
