Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I support Amendment 292, which would ensure that no actual child is featured in pornography by making it a legal requirement for pornography platforms to ensure that everyone who appears in images and videos is over the age of 18. That seems like common sense to me. We know that research shows us that child sexual abuse materials are easily found on mainstream pornography sites. Pornography users themselves have said that they have come across child sexual abuse materials easily on some of the biggest and most well-known pornography sites in the world. This amendment seeks to stop the proliferation of CSAM on those sites.
