Petition Action

Prevent dangerous foreign criminals entering the UK

Additional Information

Bring UK into line with many other countries e.g USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand etc and insist on police checks from the home country for all foreign visa applicants. My family nearly lost our lives at the hands of a dangerous criminal who did not disclose serious offences. The Home Office let him into the UK in 'good faith'. This measure would save millions in police work, court cases, legal aid, incarceration and human suffering. It is the applicant and their country that bears the cost of the police check so there would be no additional costs to the UK. We must not become a haven for dangerous foreign criminals.
