Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that violent and abusive pornography that is illegal to distribute in physical formats is also prohibited online, as recommended in the Independent Pornography Review published on 27 February.

The Independent Pornography Review assessed the effectiveness of pornography legislation, regulation, and enforcement and the Review’s findings continue to be assessed in detail by government departments. A further update on how the government is tackling the issues raised in the Review will be provided in due course.
