Rejected petition Introduce rationing of food and other essential supplies during Covid 19.

Stock piling and panic buying is creating a problem where there wasn't one. It is also preventing vulnerable people and/or those who can't afford to bulk buy from getting essentials and basics.

More details

We need to ensure everyone has access to basic supplies and medicines. Many people with allergies are finding they can't get the food supplies they can safely have. Many people with children, can't get child safe medicines. We need to ensure there's enough for everyone, rather than some people hoarding piles of goods while others go without.

Rationing should be introduced immediately as an emergency measure.
