That this House expresses its deep concern at continuing reports that millions of children throughout the world live under conditions which are described as the worst forms of child labour in International Labour Convention 182, as already ratified by Her Majesty's Government, including slavery or practices similar to slavery such as the sale and trafficking of children, debt bondage and serfdom, and forced or compulsory labour, including forced or compulsory recruitment of children for use in armed conflict, the use, procuring or offering of a child for prostitution, for the production of pornography or for pornographic performances, and the use, procuring or offering of a child for illicit activities, in particular for the production and trafficking of drugs, and work which, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried out, is likely to harm the health, safety or morals of children; congratulates the organisers of the First Children's World Congress on Child Labour for bringing together children from across the globe to Florence in May in order to discuss solutions to these appalling abuses; encourages the British delegation under the auspices of Global March UK to promote the recommendations of the Congress; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to develop and implement its policy strategies to prohibit and eliminate all forms of child labour and child exploitation throughout the world through programmes which include poverty reduction and the provision of basic education for all by the internationally agreed target date of 2015.

That this House is disappointed to note that there are no laws ensuring that newsagents only display and sell adult titles from a top shelf out of reach of minors; and whilst noting that the majority of newsagents adhere to the National Federation of Retail Newsagents' Code of Practice, nevertheless urges the Government to consider introducing such a law as soon as reasonably practicable.

That this House notes with regret the horrific murder of Jane Longhurst by Graham Coutts who had become an avid user of corrupting internet sites such as 'necrobabes', 'death by asphyxia' and 'hanging bitches'; offers its full support to the family of Jane Longhurst in their call for action to be taken to close down these sites; calls on the Government to conduct a review of the Obscene Publications Acts of 1959 and 1964 and all other key legislation; and asks the Home Secretary to ensure better co-operation from the international law enforcement agencies to close down such internet sites, which are likely to incite people to do harm to others.

That this House notes that over 250 honourable Members from all parts of the House have recently expressed their deep concern at continuing reports about citizens of developed countries travelling overseas as tourists to procure child prostitutes and pornography in poor countries in Africa, India and Asia; noting further that the governments of Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, the United States of America, Iceland, Denmark, Finland and Switzerland have legislated to give their domestic courts jurisdiction to prosecute such residents and nationals for sexual offences inflicted on children abroad; and further noting that prosecutions under such legislation have proved feasible, urges Her Majesty's Government to give British courts extra-territorial jurisdiction for prosecuting such offences committed by British nationals abroad either by enacting the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill (Lords) which has been reintroduced by Lord Hylton, or by introducing a comparable government measure as a matter of urgency.

That this House records with considerable anger that due to government incompetence a loophole exists in United Kingdom legislation which allows hard pornography to be transmitted to British television screens from the continent of Europe; observes that an equally unacceptable situation will arise with the introduction of video telephones; and therefore urges vigilance upon Her Majesty's Government and the need to take firm preventive action in this matter.

That this House notes the comments attributed to the Secretary of State for Employment in the Manchester Evening News, 20th January, that she believes there is a link between sex lines, pornography and crimes on women; is astonished that she has not, until now, supported the campaign waged by the honourable Member for Worsley against telephone sexlines; welcomes, however, her belated endorsement of an important aspect of that campaign; and urges her to use her position, in Cabinet, to press for changes in order to bring about a final clean up of this sordid industry.

That this House deplores the publication by Arrow Books Limited, of the novel 'Juliette' by Marquis de Sade; notes with deep concern that this book both glorifies and positively advocates the torture, rape and murder of babies, children and adult women and men including the inmates of prisons and patients in mental hospitals; regrets that the Director of Public Prosecutions decided that there is insufficient evidence to prosecute the publishers of this book under the terms of the Obscene Publications Act 1959; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government urgently to review the laws on obscenity and pornography to ensure that the desire of this House to encourage freedom of speech is balanced by the responsibility which it has to protect children, women and men from degradation and violence.

That this House regrets the Government's refusal, in recent legislation, to acknowledge the suffering caused to many citizens by telephone chat and pornographic lines; is appalled that an opportunity to amend existing legislation in favour of the consumer has been spurned; believes that this deliberate omission will perpetuate anomalies which have been well documented; and concludes that such complacency, on the part of the Government, serves to demonstrate that the Prime Minister's vaunted Citizen's Charter is a meaningless sham.

That this House is concerned that the Post Office Act 1953, the Unsolicited Goods and Services Act 1971, the Video Recordings Act 1984 and the Data Protection Act 1984 are being circumvented by the use of box numbers and accommodation addresses; believes that those controlling either should be held liable under the Acts in order to help the police stem the tide of unsolicited pornographic material highlighted in the News of the World campaign; and calls for action to ensure that the law on this subject can be fully enforced in this country both before and after 1992.
