Open Petition since 20th January 2025

Stop financial and other support for asylum seekers - 418,302 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 428,315 - 2,080 added in the past 24hrs)

This petition is to advocate a cessation of financial and other support provided to asylum seekers by the Government. This support currently includes shelter, food, medical care (including optical and dental), and cash support.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd June 2025 (View Full Response)
We are determined to tackle illegal migration and end the use of asylum hotels but in the meantime there is a legal requirement to support asylum seekers who would otherwise be living on the streets.
Open Petition since 14th February 2025

Ban immediately the use of dogs in scientific and regulatory procedures - 252,069 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 257,007 - 162 added in the past 24hrs)

As a first step to end animal testing, we want an immediate ban for dogs. They are commercially bred in what we see as bleak and inhumane factory-like conditions. We believe there is evidence suggesting that dogs are left being unattended for extended periods in a Government-licenced establishment.

Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 28th April 2025

The Government responsed to this petition on 5th March 2025 (View Full Response)
The government does not agree to the proposed immediate ban as international guidance still requires data from animal testing to ensure the safety of medicines and products before testing in humans.
Open Petition since 23rd May 2025

Keep the 5-Year ILR pathway for existing Skilled Worker visa holders - 148,880 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 160,059 - 85 added in the past 24hrs)

Do not apply the proposed 10-year ILR rule to existing Skilled Worker visa holders. Keep the 5-year ILR route for those already in the UK on this visa. Apply any changes only to new applicants from the date of implementation.

The Government responsed to this petition on 17th June 2025 (View Full Response)
As with several other measures in the Immigration White Paper, the proposals on earned settlement will be subject to a formal consultation process, and we welcome this contribution to that process.
Open Petition since 25th June 2025

Keep 5-year ILR terms to Hong Kong British National (Overseas) visas - 106,911 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 127,351 - 125 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the Government to exempt BN(O) visa for Hongkongers from the proposed immigration reforms. We think the current ILR terms must remain unchanged:

1. Five years of UK residency
2. B1 level English proficiency
3. Passing the Life in the UK Test

The Government responsed to this petition on 11th July 2025 (View Full Response)
We are firmly committed to the existing Hong Kong community in the UK and all those who will arrive in future. Further details of measures in the Immigration White Paper will be set out in due course.
Open Petition since 1st April 2025

Shut the migrant hotels down now and deport illegal migrants housed there - 81,069 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 106,071 - 427 added in the past 24hrs)

The Labour Party pledged to end asylum hotels if it won power. Labour is now in power.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd April 2025 (View Full Response)
We are working as fast as possible to close asylum hotels and increase the removal of people with no right to be in the UK, but we inherited an asylum system in chaos, and we cannot fix it overnight.
Open Petition since 23rd January 2025

Reduce the ILR qualifying period from 5 years to 3 years for legal immigrants - 46,994 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 47,079 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the Government to reduce the qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) from 5 years to 3 years for legally residing immigrants who are working, paying taxes, and have no criminal record.

The Government responsed to this petition on 7th March 2025 (View Full Response)
People can settle in the UK after a period of temporary permission. These periods may vary in specific instances; we keep policies under review but see no case to reduce the current five-year period.
Open Petition since 27th March 2025

End the Injustice: Grant British Nationals (Overseas) Full UK Citizenship - 29,407 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 43,304 - 325 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the government to address what we feel is a long-standing injustice and grant BN(O)s full citizenship rights we think they deserve. We think this would be a recognition of their historical ties to the UK and also a reaffirmation of the UK's commitment to democratic principles & human rights.

The Government responsed to this petition on 28th April 2025 (View Full Response)
We remain committed to the BN(O) route, allowing BN(O)s and their families to live, study, and work in the UK. However, we have no plans to amend the law to grant immediate British citizenship.
Open Petition since 15th January 2025

Create path to Settlement for Ukrainians in the UK - 35,945 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 35,946 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the UK government to provide a path to settlement for Ukrainians living in the UK. These individuals face significant uncertainty about their future. We think allowing them to settle would provide the stability needed to rebuild their lives and contribute to British society.

The Government responsed to this petition on 24th February 2025 (View Full Response)
We recognise the Ukrainian government’s desire for the return of their citizens to help rebuild Ukraine when it is safe to do so. This is why the temporary Ukraine schemes do not lead to settlement.
Open Petition since 4th March 2025

Launch a Public Inquiry into Grooming Gangs - 27,953 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,703 - 17 added in the past 24hrs)

A taskforce has helped arrest hundreds of offenders since 2023. We believe abuse is large scale and ongoing. Yet we think the authorities refuse to acknowledge the background and motivation of abusers, the failures of police, social workers and local councillors, and potential cover-ups.

The Government responsed to this petition on 1st April 2025 (View Full Response)
Alexis Jay went on to conduct a 7-year national inquiry on child sexual abuse. Our priority now is to act on her findings and deliver justice for grooming victims, not order another national inquiry.
Open Petition since 12th May 2025

Reverse guidance stopping refugees gaining citizenship - 25,054 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 27,103 - 17 added in the past 24hrs)

The 'Nationality: good character requirement' guidance was updated on 10 February 2025, preventing many refugees from ever becoming British citizens. We urge ministers to urgently reverse this policy or update the guidance to confirm refugees are exempt.

The Government responsed to this petition on 17th June 2025 (View Full Response)
We expect people applying for British citizenship, including refugees, to respect our laws. The good character policy is compliant with the Refugee Convention, and there are no plans to reverse it.
