Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps the Government is taking to address the problem of revenge pornography; and if he will meet representatives of the National Union of Students to discuss that matter.
Answered by Damian Green
The Government believes the posting of revenge porn is a despicable act and is one which can have devastating consequences for the victim.
The Government is looking seriously at this area of the law to ensure it is strong enough to deal with this behaviour.
I am happy to consider any representations that the National Union of Students wishes to submit.
