Change The "Rule Of 6" Law. The number is arbitrary.

Petition Details

About 5,732,000 Households in the UK have 4+ Family members and 597,000 families have about 6+ People.
Approximately 50% of Southern Asian (notably Pakistani and Bangladeshi) families have 4+ people in their Household, whereas the average white family has about 2.

Additional Information

The Government need to change it so that it doesn’t affect the lives of millions. At the very least children 12 years and under should be exempt from the rule.
Let’s change this unnecessary rule of 6 and protect our basic Human rights to meet friends and families whenever we want.
