Pornography can be criminalized under the changes offered by the government.

Speaking at the House of Commons, Dame Diana Johnson told the MPs: “We know that the growing prevalence of such material … is promoting violent sexual encounters.”

He said that the government will aim to make changes by adding amendments to the crime and policing bill on arguing in the House of Lords.

In February, a review commissioned by the previous government found that the depiction of strangulation was “prevalent” online and recommended a ban on derogatory and violent pornography.

Baronic Burtin’s reviews and recommendations were welcomed by a women’s coalition against end violence, but adult material manufacturer Madelin Thomas warned that people’s sexual interests could be “problematic”.

At that time Downing Street said it would work to address the gap in the law, but stopped being committed to the ban.

On Wednesday, both Labor MP Jess Asato and former Conservative Minister Dame Caroline Dinnez amended the crime and policing bill with the aim of imposing a ban.

Dame Caroline told MPs: “In any month, the UK will use more than 10 million adults online porn, and most of them will be chaps.

“This is above them. We do not do justice. But we also know from research that online porn is so widespread that one in 10 children has seen it till the age of nine.

“Unfortunately, this is the guide that many young people use to learn about sex, and that is why I am extremely worried that non-fatal strangulation has been found to be pervades on porn sites.”

MPs rejected 310 votes by 114 votes.

Dame Diana said that both were “issues with drafting” of the proposed amendments, but said the government supported “their inherent purpose”.

“Accordingly, I am happy to say that we will amend Lord’s to criminalize pornography that strangles Lord’s and depict suffocation.”

During the debate, Labor MP Rachel Taylor carried forward an amendment with the aim of presenting difficult sentences for a person’s sexuality, transgender identity or hostility inspired by hostility towards disability.

He argued that violent crimes inspired by breed and religion already punished more and “we cannot say as a society, that some forms of hatred are more bad than others”.

Responding to the proposal, Dame Diana said that the government supported such a change and “will bring out a suitable government amendment to implement this commitment in Lord’s”.
