Details needed on implementation of EU Directive on Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children
Offences Against Children
Michael Connarty: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how the implementation obligations in respect of each article of the draft EU Directive on Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children will be met by existing domestic law and practice. [73032]
Mr Kenneth Clarke: The Government considered that the Council agreed text of the EU directive on combating child sexual abuse and exploitation and child pornography, which was the subject of a debate in the House on 26 April 2011, would not have required changes to existing legislation and practice in England and Wales. The final text of this directive however has still to be agreed as changes were made to the text over the course of negotiations with the European Parliament. An article-by-article account of the plans for implementation across the UK will be provided once the text is finally agreed.
