Here is the text of our petition:
"To the House of Commons. The petition of supporters of The Front Page Campaign, and others. Declares that the petitioners believe that recommended codes of practice by the National Federation of Retail Newsagents and the Periodic Publishers Association are widely ignored by retailers and petrol stations; that the petitioners are concerned that this often means that sexually explicit material is displayed within easy reach of children; that the petitioners are further concerned by the practice of publishers paying for so-called best seller spots involving the display of sexually explicit material near check-outs; and further notes that the petitioners believe that seeing such material can cause children confusion and distress and give them a false view of adult relationships.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to introduce and enforce measures to ensure that such material is not displayed at or below children's eye-level, near children's publications or without opaque sleeving; to establish an independent UK regulator to replace out-of-date and ineffective legislation; and to introduce regulations so that magazines are assigned age ratings such as are assigned to cinema films and DVDs.
And the petitioners remain, etc."
