Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 May 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]

Contribution

My final amendment, Amendment 56A, removes reasonable excuse from the separate offence of requesting non-consensual sexually explicit content. Noble Lords will have heard me speak on multiple occasions about the sickeningly degrading nature of forums where this content is requested. I am very grateful for the way the Government have listened to get the amendment to this place. However, I cannot envisage any reasonable excuse for a person to request this content of another without their consent.
