WH SMITH LTD., 'HEALTH & EFFICIENCY' AND PORNOGRAPHIC ADVERTISING

EDM number 331 in 1990-91, proposed by Terry Lewis on 22/01/1991.

That this House notes with alarm that the magazine, Health & Efficiency, whilst promoting a respectable nudist image to the general public, has, nonetheless, in recent issues, carried coded advertisement offering occult/witchcraft contacts and other coded pornographic messages; draws attention to the ease with which child pornography can be obtained through these advertisements; and therefore, calls upon the main distributor W.H. Smith Ltd, to remove this publication from its shelves forthwith.

This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
