Petition Action

Introduce rationing on essential goods during the Covid-19 crisis.

Petition Details

Appeals from the PM for people to shop responsibly and not to stockpile seem to have made little impact on panic buying. Measures offered by several supermarkets, e.g. allowing elderly people to shop for the first hour of opening, are failing because the supermarkets cannot regulate them.

Additional Information

There are serious shortages of essential goods, and this will impact most heavily on those who are less mobile and cannot shop around.
