Recall parliament to debate the energy price cap and offer real help for all

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

End the parliamentary recess and recall parliament to debate the energy price cap increase and offer real assistance for all.
The current government have known the energy price cap announcement will be happening on Friday 26th August for a number of months, but have been unable/unwilling to offer assistance to the public. The latest price cap announcement will be of concern to many with little signs of activity within the government. The price cap should be of the highest priority for the government, rather than hosting a recess for a zombie government.
