That this House supports greater protection for children online; congratulates the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) centre on its initiative of a report button for websites, allowing users to contact specially-trained CEOP officers for advice; notes with concern that CEOP says it receives 10,000 hits a month; congratulates social networks Bebo and MSN Instant Messenger for adopting the button; further congratulates the Government on its commitment to incorporate the button on all 270,000 computers provided under its Home Access Scheme; and calls on all social network providers and websites which are used by children to also adopt the button.
