Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

We stand at a crossroads. We can continue with ineffective guidance while another cohort of children struggles with addiction-designed technology or we can act decisively to protect their well-being, their education and their future. However, smartphone bans in schools, while essential, represent only one element of the comprehensive approach that our children desperately need. This is why I have added my name to my noble friend Lord Nash’s Amendment 177. I also support the amendments tabled by my noble friend Lady Penn.
