The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps he is taking with her international counterparts to tackle the sharing of illegal pornographic material online.

Answered by Feryal Clark

We are committed to working closely with our international partners on approaches to ensure tech companies are held to account for addressing illegal and harmful content online. We have a number of bilateral agreements which include online safety. In particular, the online safety and security memorandum of understanding with Australia commits us to increasing cooperation between our respective law enforcement agencies and regulators to enhance detection and enforcement capabilities. We will continue to identify opportunities to advance multilateral cooperation, including through the OECD and G7.
