Increase deportations of illegal immigrants to five flights per day

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to significantly increase the number of deportation flights for those entering the country illegally. I am calling for a minimum of five planes a day to be used to return people to their home countries or a safe third country.

I believe the current system is unfair to legal residents and those struggling with housing and services. By not deporting those here illegally, we are putting too much pressure on the UK's infrastructure. I want the Government to prioritize the safety and needs of its own citizens by ensuring that the law is enforced strictly through daily deportation flights.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept petitions about something that is an operational decision for a government or parliamentary body, rather than decision about policy or legislation that is made by the Government or Parliament.
