Enshrine settled and pre-settled EU citizens' rights in law

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

EU taxpayers have lived here under certain conditions for years. The EU Settlement Scheme, designed to preserve such conditions, has NO legal foundation. Enshrine it into primary legislation now! Verbal/written promises are worthless from a government who has failed to keep their word multiple times

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government has laid before Parliament changes to the immigration rules to implement the EU settled status scheme. This has the force of law. We are therefore unsure what further action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

You can find the changes here:
