Protect Legal Migrants: do not implement the 10-Year ILR proposal
Gov Responded - 4 Dec 2025 Debated on - 2 Feb 2026 View Adnan Hussain's petition debate contributionsclosed 2 months, 2 weeks ago
We urge the UK Government to scrap plans to extend ILR from 5 to 10 years. We feel that legal migrants, especially care workers, followed the rules and built lives here under the 5-year promise. We think they support vital services and deserve fairness, not shifting rules.

Urgently fulfil humanitarian obligations to Gaza
Gov Responded - 8 Aug 2025 Debated on - 24 Nov 2025 View Adnan Hussain's petition debate contributionsclosed 6 months, 1 week ago
Act to ensure deliverer of fuel, food, aid, life saving services etc. We think this shouldn't be dependant/on condition of Israeli facilitation as the Knesset voted against UNWRA access to Gaza. We think if military delivery of aid, airdrops, peacekeepers etc, are needed, then all be considered.

Ban non-stun slaughter in the UK
Gov Responded - 10 Jan 2025 Debated on - 9 Jun 2025 View Adnan Hussain's petition debate contributionsclosed 8 months, 2 weeks ago
In modern society, we believe more consideration needs to be given to animal welfare and how livestock is treated and culled.
We believe non-stun slaughter is barbaric and doesn't fit in with our culture and modern-day values and should be banned, as some EU nations have done.

(View all written questions)Government Departments aim to secure value for money in meeting their facilities management requirements. The evaluation of either an in-house, outsourced, or a delivery model which is a combination of insourced and outsourced components will be evaluated on price and quality including the social value impacts such as tackling regional inequality with new skills and jobs, or ensuring those in disadvantaged groups have equal chance to become part of a diverse, resilient workforce. A minimum overall weight of 10% in the overall score is ascribed to Social Value.

The NHS Long-Term Plan sets out the National Health Service’s key ambitions on cancer to increase the number of cancers diagnosed at stages one and two to 75% by 2028 and to increase the number of people surviving cancer for five years by 55,000 as a result.

Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission to take back our streets.
We will put thousands of neighbourhood police and community support officers into local communities and crack down on those causing havoc on our high streets by introducing tougher powers, including new Respect Orders to tackle repeat offending.
We will give police the powers they need to take action on dangerous and anti-social electric scooters and bikes so that they will be able to quickly destroy the bikes that they seize from offenders. We will set out more information in due course.
