Petition · past parliament

Accept more than just 350 Syrian child refugees into the UK this year.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Last year Parliament voted to allow more Syrian child refugees into the UK under the Dubs amendment. The government have now quietly announced they will accept just 350 children of which 200 are already in the UK.
The vote passed due to the rapidly growing public pressure and now they are trying to quietly go back on the agreement. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38912428
