Customers who do not opt in to adult content will be unableto access pornographic websites.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Cameron gave strong backing in June to the Mothers' Union proposals after he commissioned a six-month review by the charity's chief executive, Reg Bailey. However, Cameron did not commit to legislation.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Bailey's recommendations included providing parents with one single website to make it easier to complain about any programme, advert, product or service, putting age restrictions on music videos and ensuring retailers offer age-appropriate clothes for children.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Cameron wrote to Bailey in June to thank him for his report. "I very much agree with the central approach you set out," the letter said.<o:p></o:p></p><p>"As you say, we should not try and wrap children up in cotton wool or simply throw our hands up and accept the world as it is. Instead, we should look to put 'the brakes on an unthinking drift towards ever-greater commercialisation and sexualisation'."<o:p></o:p></p><p>Bailey's report asked for government and business to work together on initiatives such as ending the sale of inappropriately "sexy" clothing for young children, for example underwired bras and T-shirts with suggestive slogans.<o:p></o:p></p><p>However, he recommended that if retailers do not make progress on the issue they should be forced to make the changes in 18 months.<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
