The Prime Minister is to announce a Government-backed code of conduct
which will mean that pornography is blocked in public spaces such as
cafes and railway stations where children are likely to be present.

Mr Cameron said that he wanted “good, clean WiFi” in public spaces
which would give parents confidence that their children cannot access
illicit websites on smart phones or mobile computers.

The Prime Minister said: “We are promoting good, clean, WiFi in local
cafes and elsewhere to make sure that people have confidence in public
WiFi systems so that they are not going to see things they shouldn’t.”

His intervention comes after a long-running campaign from children’s
charities to ensure a blanket ban on unacceptable sites on public WiFi
networks.
