Survey/Questionnaire

To aid the content of my creative project animation, I have decided to make a survey to collect responses, opinions and anecdotes from various people on the subject of the recent vote against the cut on the 5%VAT tax that is currently on sanitary products such as tampons.

I created my questionnaire using the website SurveyMonkey, and it can be found here:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/V2J5NRM 

Here are the questions that I have included in this survey:

• What is your gender?

• How do you feel about British MPs voting against a government move to cut the 5% VAT tax on sanitary products such as tampons?

• 77% of the members of the House of Lords are male. How do you think this factor may have affected the vote?

• Do you think that tampons should be classed as a luxury item? Why/why not?

• Is tax on tampons discriminatory or fair?

• Why do you think that this 5% VAT tax on tampons is coming to our attention now?

• A recent study has revealed that the average woman will spend over £18,000 on having periods in their lifetime. What is your opinion on this?

• Condoms, dental dams and the pill are all (quite rightly) available free of charge from the NHS. Do you think that these should be paid for too, or should tampons also be free? Or should things stay the way they are?

• On a recent episode of Russell Howard’s Good News, Russell said: ‘Well here is a list of some of the things that the taxman thinks is essential more than tampons: helicopters; bingo; Twiglets; adult nappies; flapjacks; toffee apples; edible cake decorations; a ticket to the zoo and crocodile meat.’
  What are your opinions on this?

• Do you think that the subject of tampons and periods should be kept as a private matter, or should it be acceptable to talk about in everyday situations, or somewhere in between?
