Need to find an answer to soaring energy bills or risk a humanitarian crisis.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Government intervention is required.
Grants and support for business.
Price cap and give money to suppliers to meet the much higher costs of gas and electricity on wholesale markets.

without more support, about half of UK households could fall into fuel poverty from the start of next year, meaning that they would have to spend more than 10% of their disposable income on energy.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

While we can see that you'd like the Government to take action on the rising cost of living, it's not clear exactly what you'd like the Government to do.
