National Campaign for the Repeal of the Obscene Publications Acts

The National Campaign for the Repeal of the Obscene Publications Acts (NCROPA) was a campaigning organisation whose goal was the abolition of Britain's obscenity laws, in particular the repeal of the Obscene Publications Act 1959. It was set up in 1976 by the actor David Webb as a response to Mary Whitehouse's pro-censorship National Viewers and Listeners Association.[1] Other NCROPA members included Mary Millington[2] and Pamela Manson.

The NCROPA's archives are now held by Warwick University's Modern Records Centre.[3]
