Early day motion 416, tabled 6 July 2010 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 10 members.

<p style="margin: 0mm 0mm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: Verdana">That this House notes that Google's camera car allegedly took pictures of a naked child while it was mapping every road in Britain; is concerned that while the company blurs out the registration plate of cars, it did nothing to censor this image automatically; welcomes Google's subsequent blurring of the image; asks that all Internet companies be careful, lawful and decent with the private information that they hold; further notes that this raises once again the importance of balancing the need for Internet innovation against an individual'sright to privacy; and urges the Information Commissioner to consider undertaking a formal inquiry into these matters.</span></p>
