Trump UK ban petition passes 250,000 signatures
9 December 2015 UK
A petition calling for Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump to be barred from entering the UK has gathered more than 250,000 names, so MPs will have to consider debating it.
The petition went on Parliament's e-petition website on Tuesday.
It was posted in response to Mr Trump's call for a temporary halt on Muslims entering the United States.
Chancellor George Osborne criticised Mr Trump's comments but rejected calls for him to be banned from the UK.
Any petition with more than 100,000 signatures is automatically considered for debate in Parliament.
