Proceeding contribution from Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 March 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crime and Policing Bill.


Crime and Policing Bill

I think it is important to clarify for the sake of the House that, with regard to the Internet Watch Foundation’s CSAM register, CSAM is illegal in and of itself. NCII—non-consensual intimate image—material is not illegal in and of itself. Therefore, a voluntary system will not work. It needs to be on a statutory footing.
