Ban In-Contract Price Hikes—Honour Fixed Full Contract Deals, Despite Inflation
- 42 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 63 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

(Estimated Final Signatures: 38 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
The government should take proactive steps to require mortgage providers to offer fixed interest rates on mortgages which last for the full duration of the loan. We believe this would help to ensure financial stability for homeowners.

The Government responsed to this petition on 5th November 2019 (View Full Response)British households are facing unprecedented energy and fuel price rises.
