I pay tribute to the noble Lord, Lord Nash; we have had discussions with him about how we stop illegal content. I will also mention the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Oxford and the noble Lord, Lord Russell of Liverpool, who has been sending me emails even today to help me to understand his concerns—and I appreciate that. I will also mention the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Butler-Sloss, and the noble Baronesses, Lady Benjamin, Lady Harding, Lady Cass and Lady Boycott, my noble friend Lord Stevenson of Balmacara and the noble Lord, Lord Berkeley of Knighton. They have all supported in principle the approach taken by the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, with subtle differences in why they oppose the Government’s approach. What I would say to all those noble Lords is that we have in front of us a government amendment that will allow the Government to consider this matter in a serious way, to bring forward regulations approved by both Houses of Parliament and to make sure that we consult on those issues seriously.
