INTERNET bosses could face a new criminal offence of “failing to act” to remove terrorist videos and manuals online, a Commons committee chairman said today.

Damian Collins made the call as Scotland Yard revealed it is investigat­ing whether online material helped to radicalise Westminste­r attacker Khalid Masood. Tory MP Mr Collins, chairman of the crossparty Culture, Media and Sport

Select Committee, said: “This radical material is incredibly serious.”
