Petition · past parliament

An immediate reduction of energy prices to ease the burden on the UK public.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

The UKGov should take swift steps to significantly reduce the energy price cap and guarantee a price that is affordable for all members of the public.
People should be able to heat their homes to provide comfort for old and young without the fear of worrying about going into debt. It is utterly farcical that this government refuses to introduce measures that would safeguard the public of this country.
