Rejected petition Subsidise or cap the cost of products in motorway services

I'm a lorry driving who has to sleep or stop for breaks in motorway services and the cost of products is shocking. I know from my previous employment that coach drivers have the same problem too

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is the responsibility of retailers at service stations, not the Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law, to require employers of HGV and other drivers to pay allowances for food and drink consumed during legally-required rest stops.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
