Don't stop the Dubs scheme - bring refugee children to the UK as promised

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

David Cameron promised the UK would take in 3,000 vulnerable children from Syria. The Government have backtracked today - hoping to 'bury bad news', and only bring in 350. The UK has a proud tradition of protecting children in peril - don't let us down.
