End free movement with the EU, once Brexit takes place

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

We the undersigned want an end to free movement of people from EU member states, once a Brexit takes place. We also want a return to average annual immigration prior to unprecedented levels occurring from the 1990's onwards. To achieve this, immigration outside the EU needs to significantly reduce.
