What the petition asks
Unsolicited marketing material and door-to-door sales personnel frequently target people who are elderly and vulnerable, pressurising them to buy goods which they do not need, will not use and can’t afford.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do to change the law on mail order marketing.
