What the petition asks

Decide the same price for superstores and small shops
Big stores are selling smrinoff 2 for £20
Small shops pay £11.20 cheapest
How are small shops meant to survive
Government should get involved to support small shops big stores should not put cheap prices than the small shops pay

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Setting prices for individual products is a matter for retailers.

The Government has already introduced minimum pricing for alcohol products. If you would like these to be increased so retailers cannot sell below cost price, you could start a new petition calling for that to happen.
