This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The recruitment of delivery drivers and provision of delivery slots is a matter for individual retailers.
The Government has announced various measures to help supermarkets expand their capacity. You can read more about this here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/supermarkets-to-join-forces-to-feed-the-nation
