April Jones case: Google defends web pornography policy

The search engine Google has defended its policy on restricting online pornography, after a government adviser said it should do more.

It comes after a court heard pictures of child abuse were on the laptop of April Jones's murderer Mark Bridger.

John Carr, a member of the government's Council on Child Internet Safety says internet companies should block links which paedophiles use to find pictures of abuse.

Google spokesman Scott Rubin told Nicky Campbell on BBC Radio 5 live: "At Google, there are many of us who are parents. This is personal."

He was also joined by Claire Perry MP, who is campaigning for better online child protection.
