Alan Campbell MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State responsible for crime reduction: The Government fully support work funded by the EU to develop and refine the data on websites collected by reporting hotlines. This will develop a more accurate list of websites containing illegal images of child sexual abuse. The Government fully support this and other work being taken forward by the EU to protect children online. The Government and law enforcement agencies work closely with their counterparts outside the EU to tackle such websites.
