Cap fuel prices at £1.40/L.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Fuel prices have risen astronomically, in a manner that is having a real effect on the lives of everyone in the country. Meanwhile, in Hungary, fuel prices are capped at a reasonable rate by the government.
HM Government ought to do the same in the UK.

Why it was rejected

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

The Government is not directly responsible for the price of fuel, but we have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Set up an independent regulator to monitor and regulate vehicle fuel pricing: Set up an independent regulator to monitor and regulate vehicle fuel pricing

Hold an inquiry into fuel prices and introduce increased regulation: Hold an inquiry into fuel prices and introduce increased regulation
