This is totally wrong.  A windfall tax could be used to help reduce energy bills","additional_details":"In my view its totally wrong that energy companies should be recording huge profits whilst many are struggling to pay their energy bills.  The French haver restricted energy companies to a 4% rise, other countries have lowered or scrapped the VAT applied to energy bills yet we get a loan that has to be repaid.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":11,"created_at":"2022-05-06T19:17:07.825Z","updated_at":"2022-05-09T09:20:40.915Z","rejected_at":"2022-05-09T09:20:35.809Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2022-05-06T19:55:19.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/607983"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
