Ensure boats seized for use in illegal crossings are donated where possible

Closed 193 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to ensure that boats seized for use in illegal crossings are donated for charitable purposes, or to nations like Ukraine, rather than dismantled or destroyed.
Dismantling or destroying vessels that could be used for good causes is a waste of time and money, and negatively impacts the environment.
