Government to regulate and monitor how baby milk is distributed during Covid-19

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I work in retail and have seen people without babies buying baby milk and reselling to desperate mums at 2/3 times the price.This is leaving not only a shortage of stock on shelves but is unsafe for babies. The Government need to change the policy and ensure babies are getting the milk they need.
To stop exploitation of vital essentials to parents and babies. To keep babies safe.
