Stop allowing holidays to be more expensive during school holidays.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like you to make it so that holiday companies aren’t allowed to make holidays more expensive just because it’s the school
Holidays.
It’s not fair that working parents who want to take their kids on holiday, have to pay double; if not triple, just because they aren’t allowed to keep their children off of school without getting fines. And those who do choose to take the fine, have to have their children miss out on education.
Holidays should cost the same all year round.

Why it was rejected

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about prices for holidays are a matter for travel agents and airlines, not the UK Government or Parliament.
