question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many verified images are currently on the National Hash Set Database; and how many police forces have direct access to that database.
tabling member constituency	Kingston upon Hull North

uin	15137
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 12/02/2015 answer text <p>Every referral of child sexual abuse reported to the National Crime Agency (NCA) is thoroughly assessed and developed. 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. No investigations by the NCA into <br>online child sexual abuse have been subject to delays of 12 months or longer since its inception on 7 October 2013.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 12/02/2015 15:57:55 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

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

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 2 September 2014 to Question 207065, in which rulings the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) or its predecessor courts has interpreted or applied (a) Article 72 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or the same provision in previous versions of the EU treaties and (b) Article 276 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or the same provision in previous versions of the EU treaties; and on what provisions of those rulings the Government bases its assertion that opting back into Council Decision 2000/375/JHA will not bring the UK's strategy for tackling indecent images of children online or any action by UK law enforcement pursuant to that strategy under the jurisdiction of the CJEU.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2014 answer text <p>The Government takes the issue of indecent images of children very seriously, and is working with a wide range of international partners to tackle these appalling images. We work with both EU and non-EU States, and will continue to do so. As explained in the Government’s answer of 2 September 2014 to PQ 207065, the Government has considered the potential impacts of CJEU jurisdiction very carefully in deciding which of the pre-Lisbon police and criminal justice measures it is in the interests of the UK to rejoin.</p><p><br>While the CJEU has not yet ruled in a relevant case, Article 72 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) makes clear that the maintenance of law and order and the safeguarding of internal security is a responsibility for Member States. In addition, Article 276 of the TFEU states that the CJEU shall have no jurisdiction to review the validity or proportionality of operations carried out by the police or other law enforcement services of a Member State, or the exercise of responsibilities incumbent upon Member States with regard to the maintenance of law and order and the safeguarding of internal security.</p><p><br>The decision to seek to opt in to Council Decision 2000/375/JHA will therefore not bring the Government’s strategy in tackling indecent images of children under the jurisdiction of the CJEU or any action taken by UK law enforcement pursuant to that strategy.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 23/10/2014 15:24:42 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 22881 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
