Make housing and supported accommodation for ex-service personnel a priority.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

I alongside many others in Britain strongly believe that ex-service personnel (Royal Marines, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force & British Army) regardless of position or role within the armed forces, should be given housing/supported accommodation as a PRIORITY before any refugee seeking asylumn in the UK
