Wednesday 29th July 2020
Asked by:
Baroness Eaton (Conservative - Life peer)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the proposals set out in their initial response to the consultation on the Online Harms White Paper, published on 12 February, when they will publish the “interim codes of practice”.
Answered by Baroness Williams of Trafford
- Shadow Chief Whip (Lords)
The Government will be publishing interim codes of practice on terrorist use of the internet and child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) as part of the full government response to the Online Harms White Paper consultation. This will ensure that companies are provided with the necessary context to understand the expectations around what companies should do to address CSEA and terrorist content and activity online.
We are currently working swiftly to prepare the interim codes of practice and the full government response to the Online Harms White Paper, which we will publish in the autumn.
We will follow this publication with legislation, when Parliamentary time allows.

Question
to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many Home Office policies have been assessed against the Family Test; and whether they will publish any such assessments.
Answered by Baroness Williams of Trafford
- Shadow Chief Whip (Lords)
The Home Office applies the Family Test, if appropriate and proportionate, to new policies and legislation that might have an impact on the family, to ensure strong and stable family relationships are supported, not undermined. The Government's guidance on the family test is available on Gov.uk.
