Obscene Publications Branch, New Scotland Yard (EDM1057)

Obscene Publications Branch, New Scotland Yard

EDM number 1057 in 1993-94, proposed by Ann Winterton on 19/04/1994.

That this House commends the commitment and dedication of the personnel in the Obscene Publications Branch at New Scotland Yard; recognises their unique national role and expertise in investigating child pornography and paedophile rings; notes the ever-growing complexity and volume of computer pornography with which the branch deals; and calls upon the Home Secretary to ensure that the Commissioner abandons any plan to close the Obscene Publications Branch and that this specialist squad is assured a continuing and strengthened place in the Metropolitan Police on the conclusion of the current restructuring review.

This motion has been signed by a total of 173 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
