Allow refugees matched with a host family to enter the UK.

Allow UK entry to refugees matched to a host family from a database of people willing to provide temporary emergency accommodation to those fleeing conflict and violence.

This petition was rejected

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.

We cannot accept duplicate petitions. We think this petition is similar to yours:

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/106370

You might like to sign this petition instead. It is more likely to get more signatures that way.
