Get the government to place a cap on petrol and diesel prices

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

A price cap on the rising petrol and diesel prices.
There should be a cap on what they can charge.
A lot of garages put the prices up before the 5p fuel duty was taken off thus not passing on the savings to the customer.

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
