Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I firmly believe that regulation is the best means to address the risk of services unintentionally generating illegal content, which is why we have tabled Amendment 429B, so that the Government can close the gaps and ensure regulatory compliance. I say to the noble Baroness that I want us to make a difference. The Prime Minister, the DSIT Secretary and the Home Secretary have said publicly—and I speak for the Government today to say publicly—that we want to close these issues in an effective way. To do that, we need a consultation and we need to draft some guidelines. Yes, they would come before this House in a Henry VIII package, but they are there to be supported or rejected by both Houses of Parliament.
