Mark D'Arcy reports from Westminster as peers debate plans to protect children from violent and pornographic content on the internet.

Their Lordships also wrestle with proposals to introduce gender equality into the peerage. As well as changing the law so that the eldest child can inherit a title regardless of their gender the Equality (Titles) Bill proposes that husbands of female peers and civil partners of peers should be given a courtesy title. But as Mark reports once peers started looking at the details they found there was plenty to argue about.
