Reduce shopping bag price
Most people need more than one shopping bag. Earlier the price of a shopping bag was 10 pence but now it has gone up to 30 pence depending on the showroom. If a person has to pay so much more for the back of the bag after shopping, then it becomes extra pressure on the person.
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:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The Government requires retailers to charge a minimum of 10p for any single-use carrier bags in England, but beyond this it is up to individual retailers what to charge for carrier bags.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to reduce the mandatory charge of single-use carrier bags, but retailers could still charge 10p (or more) for these if they chose to do so.
