Petition Action

Review the use of retail businesses as cover for illegality

Petition Details

We urge the Government to launch a public inquiry into the legitimacy and legality of the huge number of barbers, nail bars, car wash, vape shops and similar outfits already established, and springing up in towns throughout the country.

Additional Information

We are concerned by the speed and ease with which these outfits/shops are being created. We believe they maybe are being used as a front for illegal activities such as promoting money-laundering, illegal immigration, modern slavery etc. We believe the ailing high street and its continual demise is enabling and facilitating this practice.
