The Government to lobby the EU for a total ban on the sale of Inflatable boats.
These boats are not designed for cross channel migration and as a result many have died. These boats are being used by organised crime for people smuggling not for saving lives . Clearly these boats should be heavily regulated and licensed to prevent their unlawful use.
Current legislation may well lead to the removal of illegal economic migrants but that will not stop the escalating illegal traffic across the Channel and indeed other coastlines around Europe's borders. Banning the sale of these boats will seriously hinder these criminals and existing stocks can be immediately seized on " the suspicion" they might be used for 'an unlawful purpose' pending a total ban being imposed by the EU. Commercial Compensation will be much cheaper than processing migrants.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We understand you would like to see changes to the way inflatable boats can be accessed, but it's unclear if you want a total ban or increased regulation.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
