<p> </p><p>I refer the Hon. Member to the reply given on 19 June 2014, Official Report,
columns 666-667W. <br>Following two linked international investigations into the boylover.net
<br>website, information was provided to the Child Exploitation and Online <br>Protection
Centre (CEOP) by US authorities and Europol that related to UK-based <br>registered
users. CEOP was, at that time, an affiliate of the Serious Organised <br>Crime Agency.
We do not maintain a record of the number of UK-registered users <br>of the website
identified by United States or Dutch authorities, nor of what <br>proportion of those
users were passed to CEOP. However, as a consequence of the <br>information provided
and through CEOP's own investigations, 240 intelligence <br>packages were prepared
and subsequently disseminated to police forces across <br>the UK. Further information
regarding charges, convictions and open <br>investigations is handled at a local level
by the relevant police force and <br>is not recorded nationally.</p><p> </p>
