Hello. I would like to make a FOI request to find out if TFL has taken any action to stop the Metro and Evening Standard newspapers from hosting adverts for sex chat and prostitution (chat or date). And if so what action was taken.

Our ref: FOI-1763-1920

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 11 September 2019 asking for information about Evening Standard and Metro Advertising Intervention.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy.

I can confirm that we do not hold the information you require; TfL has not taken any such action. The advertising is the responsibility of the newspapers.

Yours sincerely
