DEVIZES MP Claire Perry has begun chairing an all-party parliamentary inquiry into how children can be protected from internet porn.

The inquiry, announced in August, began sitting last Thursday with the Sun’s agony aunt Diedre Sanders, former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith and Justine Roberts, foun-der of Mumsnet, among the first to give evidence.

Mrs Perry said: “This inquiry will provide the ideal platform to discuss how best we can protect our children online.”

Over the next few months the inquiry will take evidence from parents, child protection experts, internet experts and chief executives of many of Britain’s largest internet service providers.

The group will report to ministers in November.

Isn't this the same MP who made a comment about offering the Speaker of the House some form of sexual favour to get called up?

Policing the internet, yeah good one.. Not that i condone child ****, but the internets a place where all material is available, from bombs to beheadings. We'd be getting like China if we started to restrict certain content, what next - certain political views banned via the isp's?!

Surely it's a parent's responsibility to ensure what their children is looking at not the State's. With a little bit of knowledge an account can be created on one's computer especially for a child and, if desired, an internet censoring programme can be activated which will prevent them from accessing certain websites. It's not 100% foolproof to be fair but then nothing will be - unless we attempt a total ban.

How much taxpayers money is being squandered on this foolish womans crusade?
Sure ISP's should lock out adult content but it should be OPT IN..... end of argument.
If she got her way it would be state censorship and if I wanted that I would move to North Korea. I will never, ever, vote for this MP.

One thing we can all agree on though is that she's far better looking than Michael Ancram.

yes - she offered to fellate the speaker in order to secure preferential treatment.

I sure she will claim it was a joke - but as we all know politicians are liars.

Seems she is well qualified to discuss ****.

Perhaps she will pickup some tips to improve her technique.
