Charities 'could face fund-raising ban'

Charities could be banned from certain forms of fund-raising, such as cold-calling or mailshots, if they break stricter rules proposed for the sector.
A government-commissioned review also said the main fund-raising regulator should be scrapped and recommended the creation of a new register to allow people to opt out of all charity contact.
It follows concerns about aggressive fund-raising tactics by some charities, particularly targeting the vulnerable.
The programme heard from four people with strong feelings about this issue.
