Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nigel Huddleston and Elizabeth Truss

Tuesday 7th March 2017 Commons Chamber

[Nigel Huddleston (Mid Worcestershire) (Con)]

Given the disturbing revelations this morning relating to Facebook and the use of sexualised images of children online, are we doing enough to protect our children, online and offline?

[Elizabeth Truss]

I am working on this subject very closely with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. We need to ensure that more people are brought to justice—in fact, there has been an increase of 140% in those brought to justice for sexual offences—but we also need to make sure that internet companies are doing their bit to crack down on this practice.
