To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how much her Department has spent from the public purse on its proposals for age verification for online pornography .
Matt Warman
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
Since 2016, the government has spent approximately £2.2million on this policy. These objectives will now be delivered through our wider online harms work. It is only right that government has invested to prepare for a child protection measure. This is now a key part of our online harms agenda and we will be reviewing how our work so far can be incorporated into the proposed online harms regime.
