Petition Research contribution to help fight Cancer

More details

We are campaigning for a mandatory tax to be imposed on any organisation trading in the U.K whose activities and products directly contribute to the risk of cancer.

The tax should be aimed at those who pose the greatest risk and profit the most. Alcohol, tobacco and fast food industries. For every taxable £1, an additional 1p is deducted by the treasury and given to cancer research.

We also propose that any U.K tax payer that wishes to do so can also have 1p in every taxable £1 deducted and contributed to cancer research.

Such a small gesture could make a massive positive impact on all our lives.
