Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/622377

Your petition refers to a fair price, but then suggests that you want prices to be set at a rate that allows for costs plus 50% to be recovered. It's also not clear how you want any additional monies to be allocated, if it's possible for catering venues to operate with prices consistent with this rule.

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