Abolish free movement of people once UK leaves the European Union

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The referendum of 23 June gave HMG a mandate to take the UK out of the EU. Immigration was for those wanting to leave a major factor, if not the main reason for wanting out. We urge the new Prime Minister to respect the people's will and abolish free movement of people, making immigration fair.
