This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

British citizens cannot be deported. You can find more information about that here:

www.gov.uk/government/publications/identifying-british-citizens-and-others-exempt-from-deportation

The Government already has the power to deport people when the Home Secretary has decided that their removal from the country is 'conducive to the public good'.

A court can also recommend deportation if someone is convicted of a criminal offence with a prison term.
