Alternatively make travel companies charge the same prices they do in school holidays as they do in term time. Children should not pay the price of loosing out on family vacations due to others greed.","additional_details":"All children and families deserve the right to a family vacation once a year. Due to travel companies/hotels etc hiking their prices during school holidays this makes a holiday unaffordable for a lot of people. Now parents face fines and legal action for taking their children out of school this makes holidays unachievable for a lot of people. People work hard, children work hard, people deserve to enjoy this life and a holiday once a year is something people deserve.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2026-08-20T10:36:57.171Z","updated_at":"2026-09-15T17:43:29.738Z","rejected_at":"2026-09-15T17:43:29.740Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-08-20T11:07:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this open petition which calls for similar action:\r\n\r\nReview school absence fines & pricing practices during school holidays https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/766186 \r\n\r\nOther open petitions on this topic includes:\r\n\r\nAllow up to 10 days authorised school leave per year without fines\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/763857\r\n\r\nStudents with 90%+ attendance to be able to go on holiday during term time\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/761047"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
