The government has given internet service providers until 2008 to block all access to websites containing illegal 
images of child abuse listed by the Internet Watch Foundation.

In a Parliamentary written answer on 15 May, Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker said progress had been made, but hinted 
that if the last paedophile services were not snuffed out of circulation soon the government might take steps itself to 
block people accessing them.
