This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Stop daytime TV adverts for Charities targeting the elderly, ill and vulnerable.
Charities should not be allowed to target the elderly, the unemployed, the ill and the vulnerable by a constant barrage of daytime TV adverts requesting 'just £2.00 a month". Rather bring in a Charitable tax for Bankers - problem solved!

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Advertising is regulated by the Advertising Standards Authority. If you have concerns about advertising targeting vulnerable groups at certain times of the day, you can make a complaint to the ASA here:
