We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Scrap the sugar tax and plans to stop multibuy offers on 'unhealthy' foods
The public should be able to eat and drink what they want, without Government intervention. Some people can also be allergic to sweeteners, making products with sugar substitutes unsuitable. We want the sugar tax, and plans to stop multibuy offers on 'unhealthy' foods, to be dropped.
More details
The sugar tax was introduced on soft drinks in 2018, but we believe this has not been effective. With the cost of living going up, the last thing people want is additional taxes.
We also want plans to restrict businesses from offering multibuy deals on 'unhealthy' foods, due to be introduced in October, to be abandoned. Instead of making unhealthy food more expensive, the Government should look at making healthy food cheaper.
