This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand that you want the Government to withold support from companies that are profiteering during the coronavirus outbreak, but it's not clear exactly what action you want the Government to take.

You could start a new petition stating in more detail what you want the Government to do, for example to prevent retailers charging more than the Recommended Retail Price for products from accessing financial support from the Government.

We have published a petition calling on the Government to restrict people stockpiling and reselling items at inflated prices, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/303070
