Do something about Panic Buying is a problem during the Covid-19

What the petition asks
Despite messages from retailers saying there is enough for everyone, the message is not getting through. Supermarkets are being stripped bare by people who can afford to bulk buy, leaving those less fortunate with nothing.
Parliament needs to raise this issue and seek solutions, so that the vulnerable and less well off are not left to suffer. Today’s sky news report of the briefing saying not go out even for essentials like food, do not help, especially when there are 3 week waits for supermarket delivery slots.
