What the petition asks
In 1948 hundreds from the Carribean answered the call from the motherland to help rebuild the UK. Many continued to arrive with their families until 1971 & under the 1948 national immigration act were automatically granted British citizenship. It's time to make all of that generation British.
David Lammy called for recognition of the Windrush Generation & many more.
