The UK government has responded to a petition calling for US presidential hopeful Donald Trump to be banned from the UK after he proposed a temporary halt on Muslims entering the US.
According to BBC News, more than 500,000 people have signed the parliamentary e-petition.
In response, the government said it recognized the strength of feeling against Mr. Trump’s comments, which are expected to be debated by MPs.
Ministers previously criticized his remarks but disagreed with banning him.
The cross-party Commons petitions committee is due to meet next week to decide whether to hold a parliamentary debate on the petition to ban Mr Trump.
