Nearly a quarter of MPs have signed an Early Day Motion calling for a review of how porn and lads mags are displayed in shops.

As The Grocer went to press, 154 MPs had backed Labour MP Lindsay Roy's EDM, calling for the government to review the positioning of magazines in stores, age-restriction rules, and whether they should be bagged.

Pressure increased this week when Conservative MP Nadine Dorries tabled a 10-minute rule calling for restrictions on magazine display and tighter rules on images in advertising.
