I can assure the Assembly that we will continue to be monitoring this area very closely. There is some research being commissioned on the subjects that Ms Szuty mentioned, and as that becomes available I will be happy to bring it to the Assembly. I will be happy to report back in future on further moves. This is law that, I think, will be in place probably for only 12 months, as I suspect that next year we will be further refining this. I suspect that the whole issue of censorship and computer materials is one that will be vexing us for some years to come.
