Continue to accept visas from refugees fleeing Ukraine
Boris Johnson promised that Britain will receive people fleeing persecution in Ukraine but this government is currently pushing its anti-refugee Nationality & Borders Bill through Parliament. Continue accepting visas from Ukrainians in hope that other countries would do the same for us.
The Nationality & Borders bill is being voted on in the House of Lords next week. There's still time for the UK government to do the right thing.
It will mean that we deny protection to refugees forced to take dangerous journeys to find sanctuary for themselves and their families.
Our government has the power to protect people that need aid and has consistently denied them this. We can show ourselves to be welcoming in opposition to the discrimination our country has shown in recent years.

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.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
Reopen all visa services for Ukrainians in Ukraine: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/609769

Draw up and implement a specific Ukrainian refugee strategy for the UK: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/609431
We can accept petitions calling for changes to the Nationality and Borders Bill, but it would need to be clear what changes you wanted to be made to this legislation.
