Require the Union Flag on all new UK number plates.

Closed 4,249 signatures

What the petition asks

The Union Flag is a symbol of Unity and strength of our United Kingdom and is highly regarded at both home and abroad.
Now that the United Kingdom has left the European Union,
We the undersigned request the UK Government places the Union Flag on all new UK vehicle number plates.
At present the number plate is optional and the flag is not required, we ask the government to change the rules to ensure all new plates are sold with the Flag, as a legal requirement.
