On the Phone-In:
In July the Advertising Standards Authority said that they would ban some cases of gender stereotyping adverts, across the UK, next year. Today, they've announced that there will be a public consultation on the rule that they plan to put in place. The ASA say this will cover gender stereotyping that is deemed harmful. Adverts depicting woman cleaning and men doing DIY tasks will still make it on to our screens.
