As I stated earlier, the term has been proposed by Interpol and Europol, which have to deal with this abhorrent and horrendous crime. I appreciate the Minister of State's response. The United Kingdom has managed to find the legislative way and has done it. We will not be the first but we should be taking the lead. This is not a case of if it will happen; it is when it will happen. It is about updating our laws to reflect the true seriousness of the crime. However, I withdraw the group of amendments. I want to get this right but I also want to ensure we protect children and that we send a clear message that there is no consent, it is a crime scene, it is abhorrent and we will not tolerate it.
