What the petition asks
The Government should make it law that travel companies should give teachers and school staff concessions due to only being allowed to travel during term time which is more expensive than any other time of the year.
.
.
As many people are aware prices to travel abroad or even to enjoy a holiday in the UK skyrocket outside of term time (during school holidays and half term). Travel companies should offer a discount for teachers to travel during peak times.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is the responsibility of travel companies, not the Government or Parliament.
