Ah! I had the same question. Wow. Well, they are banned anymore, right? Okay, I went and looked it up. The ban was lifted in '85. Whew!

When I was in college in 1980, every morning the Students' Union would set up a stall selling condoms. By lunchtime, the campus authorities would have shut it down only for it to reappear the following morning. It became a daily ritual.

Even after the ban was relaxed in 1985, condoms could only be bought by over-18s in chemist shops. They weren't on display either; you had to pluck up the courage to ask for them.
Crazy times!
