Make referendum mandatory before enacting British territory changes

Petition Details

We call on the Government to introduce a law to make it mandatory to hold a referendum before a Government makes any changes to the ownership, use or governance of any British territory.

Additional Information

We believe that the British Territories are not owned by the British Government and therefore that they should not be sold or transferred for use, ownership or governance without the people of the United Kingdom and the British Territories giving their permission via a referendum.
