We believe consumers should not pay more because of gender-based marketing.\r\n \r\nWe want the Government to investigate these price differences, publish its findings and measures it plans to introduce to prevent unjustified higher prices for equivalent or substantially similar products. This could help protect young people and families from unfair costs and promote greater equality.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":15,"closing_date":"2027-04-15","created_at":"2026-09-15T10:25:48.046Z","updated_at":"2026-10-15T22:30:40.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-10-15T10:55:53.513Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-09-15T10:36:00.000Z","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":"Claire Johnson","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DBIST","name":"Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-business-and-trade"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":15}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Aldershot","ons_code":"E14001063","mp":"Alex Baker MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Worthing and Shoreham","ons_code":"E14001218","mp":"Tom Rutland MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Godalming and Ash","ons_code":"E14001249","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Jeremy Hunt MP","signature_count":9},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Tunbridge Wells","ons_code":"E14001555","mp":"Mike Martin MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":13},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
