Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

I understand the government not allowing you to take children out of school for holidays in term time, as it effects there overall learning, so why not put a stop to travel companies and flight companies charging almost double in school holidays. People on low incomings can not afford a holiday.
People on low incomings can not afford to pay the prices of school holidays, holidays, and therefore the children are suffering that way and cannot reach there full potential of not having a well earned rest.
Travel companies should adjust there prices fairly and not prey on the school holidays.
