We want companies not to be allowed to raise prices during school holidays !

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I am a mum of a 4 year old and until he started school in September this never was an issue ...looking at booking trips for the school holidays I realised that some companies increase prices three fold ... it seems unfair and that people with children are penalised in this way !
In light of the recent decision that removing children during term time is unlawful we ask the government to consider making it unlawful for companies to increase their prices extortionately during the holidays , to allow for families / parents with children to go on holiday without paying over and above!
