§ Mr. Macfarlaneasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what statistical information is collected centrally regarding pornographic material prosecutions; and why his Department does not record court proceedings relating to prosecution of persons producing pornographic material involving children.
§ Mr. JohnStatistics collected centrally on prosecutions in respect of pornographic material, in common with statistics of court proceedings generally, identify the law under which persons have been prosecuted but not circumstantial details of the offence. Thus the information collected does not separately identify prosecutions of persons producing pornographic material involving children.
