HC Deb 25 February 1998 vol 307 c249W
Sir Richard Body

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is her Department's policy on the adoption of a multiannual action plan on promoting safe use of the Internet as set out in COM (97) 582. [31284]

Mrs. Roche

The Government support the actions to be promoted by the action plan, whose approach builds on the UK's successful experience with the Internet Watch Foundation. The Government consider that international co-operation between national hotlines, and in the development of filtering systems, is crucial to the control of illegal and harmful content on the Internet.
