Petition Action

Offer a fast route to UK Citizenship for those in the 'front-line' of COVID-19

Petition Details

Just as those who work in 'Crown Service' get a special route into citizenship, those non-UK citizens serving in the NHS and other 'front-line' roles should be offered a fast route to be naturalized as a British Subject.

Additional Information

It is invidious of the State to ask non-UK citizens to risk their lives without offering the full benefits of citizenship.
