Keep baby & children aisles open at stores.

What the petition asks
We need to keep baby and children ailes open in stores. These are classed as essentials, especially baby items, we need baby food, nappies, equipment and nursing essentials! You can't feed babys bread! Children need toys to keep them busy and occupied while staying at home with this lockdown.
Make sure stores keep them open but like with other items, limit the amount they can buy. B&M have already closed thier ailes.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is a matter for individual retailers. The advice from the Government is that any goods available in open stores can be sold.
