I fail to understand why the government amendment does not enact all of Section 27 of the Sexual Offences Act. That is why I have tabled Amendments 297AA to 297D, which would ensure that the provisions of the Bill capture the depiction of the relationships I have just spoken about. This is not a novel concept. It simply reflects UK law, and it would be indefensible to miss this opportunity to outlaw depictions of this kind of content, especially when we know it has become the most abusive but popular form of pornography. I reiterate that depictions of incest being banned is great, but it is just token if you do not ban step-incest as it will all be driven into the step-incest category, which is just as damaging.
