What the petition asks
Set a percentage price cap increase on all package holidays, hotels and flights from and within the UK during school holidays compared to term times
As the law will soon be changing to heavily fine and even criminally charge parents for removing their children from school to go on holiday during school terms. The companies forcing many families to have no other option due to the huge price increases on holidays during school holiday periods, a cap needs to be put in place to prevent prices being increased more than 30% of the term time prices.
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.
