'Fundamental change' in removing child abuse images

The Culture Secretary Maria Miller has said internet companies have agreed a "fundamental change in the approach of the industry to removing child abuse images that are too readily available online."

She told ITV News that the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) would be "actively seeking out those abhorrent images" rather than waiting for such sites to be reported.

Ms Miller said Cabinet members "all take this very seriously and we are working together across departments."
