Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assessment has been made of the use of telephone transferred
charge calls to propogate unwanted pornographic messages; and if she will make a statement. [152541]
Mr. Sutcliffe: None. However the law relating to pornography applies online as it does offline. Unsolicited emails and reverse SMS
messages advertising pornographic services are prohibited by the regulations implementing a recent EC Directive on Privacy and
Electronic Communications, and which are enforced by the Information Commissioner's office. The mobile operators are drawing up a
code of practice to cover new forms of content including pornography. Premium rate services continue to be regulated by the
Independent Committee for the Supervision of Standards of Telephone Information Services (ICSTIS).
