This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned by the amount of profit being made by some supermarkets, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Your petition refers to a cap on profits, but we're not sure how you want this to work in practice.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to implement a 100% tax on profits over a certain level, if that's what you want to happen. If you want the Government to do something else you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
