The children's charity NCH has called for the internet industry to do more to stop child pornography and abuse after it revealed the number of people charged with child pornography crimes rose by more than 1,500 per cent between 1988 and 2001. Its report, Child abuse, child pornography and the internet, said, 'The internet industry in the widest sense must accept a continuing duty to do all they reasonably can at a technological level to ensure children using their services will not come to any avoidable harm.' The Agency, which published research last September showing that advertising did have an impact on children's food choices, has set out proposals aimed at promoting healthy food options.

Jane Kennedy, minister responsible for education, said, 'This year there are places for 90 per cent of children in their immediate pre-school year, thanks to the Pre-School Education Expansion Programme.' Parents will know before Easter if their child has been offered a place.
