The work of the CEOP Command in tackling the proliferation of indecent images of <br />children is of utmost importance and that is why we have protected its budget. <br /><br />In addition, every officer in the NCA, which has over 4000 people, has a legal <br />duty to safeguard children and promote child welfare. The NCA's UK and global <br />reach is extensive, with officers stationed in over 40 countries overseas to <br />ensure our international partners are working alongside us to tackle the abuse <br />of children. <br /><br />Police forces also investigate online child abuse, safeguard the victims and <br />prosecute the perpetrators. The resources allocated to this work in each force <br />is a matter for the Chief Constable and their Police and Crime Commissioner.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Taylor of Holbeach question first answered 26/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3787 label Biography information for Lord Taylor of Holbeach

At the recent EU-UK Specialised Committee the EU confirmed they were unwilling to move on UK association due to broader political issues. We continue to push the EU, by whatever means possible, to formalise our association but the EU is not living up to the commitments it made in 2020.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise that delays by the EU have led to uncertainty for researchers, businesses and innovators based in the UK, including British Universities. To provide reassurance the Government has guaranteed funding for the first wave of eligible, successful applicants to Horizon Europe.</p><p> </p><p>Given the EU’s persistence in delaying our association, it is only right and responsible that we are prepared for all outcomes, including one where we are not able to associate. Our priority is to support UK researchers and provide immediate stability and continuity for the sector. To this end, we are developing a coherent, compelling and high-quality programme to provide the fellowships, collaborations and industry engagement so valued in Horizon.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 23/02/2022 14:53:06 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
