I want an enquiry into the high rise in petrol and diesel prices
Investigate the reasons behind the high increases in petrol and diesel prices.
The people of this country have been hit by many increases in energy, food, council tax etc and now petrol prices.
Investigate how much the government, manufacturers and businesses are profiting from such increases and instigate a plan of action to bring them to task and make them reduce prices accordingly.
People do not a money tree to keep grabbing off branches, what they do have is desperation, mental health, suicide and many more issues brought about purely by greed.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
We could accept a petition calling for an inquiry into the reasons for increases in fuel prices, but the Government is not responsible for fuel prices, so we could not accept a petition calling on them to "make [manufacturers and businesses] reduce prices accordingly".
The House of Commons Library has produced a briefing on petrol and diesel prices, which may be of interest: commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn04712/
As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
