Reducing fuel duty would provide immediate relief, support economic activity, and help offset rising costs beyond public control.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":15,"created_at":"2026-03-31T16:14:57.929Z","updated_at":"2026-04-24T10:11:56.943Z","rejected_at":"2026-04-24T10:11:56.944Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-31T16:35:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition, which calls for similar action: \"Reduce fuel duty tax to at least half of the current rates\" https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/764577"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
