	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2014 answer text <p>There are limits to what can be said publically about the operational techniques used by our law enforcement agencies. To do so would assist <br>potential criminals to evade detection. However, in investigations that start with an online identifier or IP address, such as online child sexual <br>exploitation cases, communications data will often be the only available investigative lead to identify a suspect or victim in the real world. If this <br>data is not available, such investigations cannot proceed. As the Director General of the National Crime Agency, Keith Bristow, has made clear: <br>&quot;Communications data is still overwhelmingly the most powerful tool available to those investigating child sexual exploitation and identifying and <br>safeguarding its victims and potential victims.&quot;</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 29/10/2014 13:30:02 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 24346 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

All cases where potential suspects are identified are disseminated to a UK police force, actioned by the NCA, or disseminated to a foreign jurisdiction via Interpol. It is for each of the recipients to assess the intelligence and potential for prosecution and to take executive action appropriately. Information on these investigations is not held centrally, except for NCA investigations.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2015 answer text <p>The Child Abuse Image Database (CAID) was launched in December 2014 and supersedes the interim National Hash Set Database. All of the hashes relating to Indecent Images of Children from the interim National Hash Set Database managed by Cheshire Constabulary were added to CAID along with hash sets held by other UK law enforcement agencies.</p><p>CAID contains over four million images. All these images appearing on CAID have an indicative categorisation based on police force grading or ‘votes’. Of these images, at present, fewer than 600,000 have been categorised as having a “trusted grade”. This “trusted grade” is achieved once the image has received three independent, undisputed votes by police forces encountering them. These are therefore the images which have been most reliably assessed as being Indecent Images of Children.</p><p>The focus this year has been to ensure that all police forces and the National Crime Agency are connected to CAID by the end of this year.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 16/11/2015 16:38:19 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 28823 answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning answering member 1528

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2015 answer text <p>Reports of Indecent Images of Children (IIOC) can be made to the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) which is an industry funded body. In 2014 the IWF processed 74,119 reports, of which 31,443 were confirmed as depicting illegal content. The IWF can proactively search the Internet for IIOC and this has vastly increased the number of webpages being taken down.</p><p>100% of UK-hosted webpages confirmed by the IWF as containing IIOC were removed within four days, although most were taken down within two hours. 84% of webpages hosted outside the UK, and confirmed by the IWF as containing IIOC, were removed within 10 days. This material has been removed permanently, rather than simply having access to it blocked. The IWF also provides a list of webpages containing IIOC, primarily hosted outside the UK, to enable companies to block or filter them for their customers’ protection. This approach uses the same technology used by ISPs to block access to copyright-infringing websites.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 18/12/2015 15:18:09 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
