Given that the MP who is moving on this has stated that he wants the law 
to hold the receiving ISP liable for the spam I think your trust is 
misplaced.

Do you really want your ISP to read all your email and only forward what 
they think is suitable?

Indeed. It is trivially easy to get 'net access. The only worthwhile 
approach to this problem in my view is to educate your kids to handle such 
messages properly.
