Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Together, these amendments start to tackle the issue of chatbots head-on. It took more than a decade for the world to wake up to the early warnings we made about social media. Let us not do that again. We know how this story ends: it always ends with the loss of a child or with harm to the bodies and mental health of the young and the vulnerable. We cannot wait, we must not wait and we should not pretend that waiting is neutral.
