Hold an inquiry into fuel prices and introduce increased regulation

Closed 201 signatures

What the petition asks

High prices hit both consumers & business & impact on the economy, driving inflation. There is significant concern about the recent increase in prices. We want Government to investigate and introduce a new regulator to protect the public from unfair pricing of fuel.
If gas, electricity, water and telecoms have bodies to protect consumers, why shouldn't fuel consumers have one too?

We do not understand why prices are so high and have not dropped despite reductions in wholesale costs. The US President has requested a similar investigation in the US.

The UK Government must consider what it can do to assure consumers fuel pricing is fair, and protect consumer from unfair practices.

Consumers are already feeling the pinch in so many ways.
