Lads Mags

On newsagents and supermarkets shelves across the united kingdom, lads mags such as Zoo and Nuts jostle for space with childrens publications such as CBeebies. The images on the covers of these magazines are frequently fairly explicit and lewd. The material is undoubtably adult in nature.

The National Federation of Retail Newsagents has a voluntary code which says that these magazines should be out of the sight of children. However even major newsagent such as WH Smith ignore the code. Legislation is needed to ensure these publications are moved to the top shelf.

Claire Curtis-Thomas MP has introduced a private members bill to deal with sexually explicit material. This sexually explicit material bill is due before parliament in October.
