Open Petition since 16th July 2025

Mandatory collection and publication of certain child sexual offender data - 244,580 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 283,838 - 241 added in the past 24hrs)

Place a statutory requirement on councils, the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and all other related institutions to collect, record and publish the nationality, ethnicity, immigration status and religion of child sexual offenders, including gang based crime.

The Government responsed to this petition on 30th July 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government is already taking action to increase the collection and transparency of data on the demographic characteristics of individuals responsible for group-based child sexual exploitation.
Open Petition since 14th February 2025

Ban immediately the use of dogs in scientific and regulatory procedures - 256,031 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 256,730 - 89 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 - 155,995 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 165,018 - 97 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 1st April 2025

Shut the migrant hotels down now and deport illegal migrants housed there - 115,364 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 153,707 - 1,458 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 25th June 2025

Keep 5-year ILR terms to Hong Kong British National (Overseas) visas - 107,652 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 108,356 - 5 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 27th March 2025

End the Injustice: Grant British Nationals (Overseas) Full UK Citizenship - 31,745 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 32,004 - 5 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 4th March 2025

Launch a Public Inquiry into Grooming Gangs - 29,030 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 30,114 - 43 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 - 26,515 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,627 - 22 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.
Open Petition since 17th February 2025

Grant automatic visa extension and ILR for Ukrainians after 5 years - 13,690 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,723 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)

Since Feb 2025, Ukrainians and their eligible family members in the UK have been able to apply for further permission to remain for up to 18 months. We would like the extensions to be automatic and for the Government to set out a path to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) for Ukrainians.

The Government responsed to this petition on 12th March 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 22nd April 2025

Make the sex offender's registry publicly available to view for everyone. - 9,326 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 11,632 - 30 added in the past 24hrs)
