Prevent holiday companies making huge price increases in schools holidays.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

It is scandalous that families with children at school are penalised and discriminated against. The law states parents are not allowed to take children out of education and are fined for this and so many families will have to go without a holiday. Time spent with our families should be encouraged.

Why it was rejected
