Mr. Mark Toland:

We were not asked about the digital age of consent. We do not comment on Government policy but we were not asked. European countries are looking at different ages.

The 24 recommendations are brand new. We have restated some that were not implemented. We did an assessment of the previous recommendations because time had moved on. We still believe they are valid recommendations but we can see that they could be changed somewhat in order that they are fully up to date. We have accepted that while the recommendation from 2012 on the question of child centres was good, it could be adapted to have a slightly different centre but with the same principles.
