I have sponsored a backbench bill, launched by fellow MP Geraint Davies, to close dangerous loopholes in existing credit card laws.
Pre-paid credit cards are readily available from retailers without providing details of the name and address of the user so images of child abuse may be downloaded anonymously.
This bill would require proof of identity and address, such as passports, birth certificates or utility bills, in order to buy pre-paid cards.
I hope the coalition will see sense and join me in supporting it.
