Review policy on allergies and fitness to service in the Armed Forces

Closed 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should review its policy on fitness to serve in the armed forces with a view to allowing anyone who suffers with allergies to have the same chance as everyone else to serve in the UK military.
I've always wanted to join the UK military do my part and experience the different experience and wonders that they have to offer, but my nut allergy prevents that and as it's one of the most common allergies it will stop many others too whom wish to join up.
