End Immigration Concession
In their 1979 election manifesto the Conservatives promised to end the concession whereby foreign men can live in the UK through marriage.
The official figure was about 10,000 men a year using this method.
But Mrs. Thatcher's Government did not keep its promise.
As a result, at least 300,000 men are living in these islands.
England is overcrowded, and the UK has more young men than young women.
This petition requests the Government to end this concession, since there is nothing to prevent such couples from living in the husband's country and it is for the common good.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
