I demand that the British Government reduce migration to the United Kingdom

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Latest nett migration figures show an increase of 273,000. This is putting a huge strain on our countrie's NHS, Education System, Social Housing and Benefits System. For years the Government have said they will reduce migration but to no effect, this can not be maintained.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take specific action.

We understand that you would like the UK Government to reduce migration but we are not sure what action you would like it to take.

You could start a new petition setting out clearly what action you would like it to take.
