Rejected

What the petition asks
It is reported that the Government will now only take 350 child refugees from Syria out of a commitment of 3000 (the Dubs amendment).
There are still many thousands of refugees fleeing war in Syria, yet the UK's response has been woeful. The Government must honour its original commitment.
