Conservative — Kingswinford and South Staffordshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 March 2025

Debate

Protection of Children (Digital Safety and Data Protection) Bill

Contribution

Does the hon. Lady recognise that, unlike the indoor smoking ban in particular, the regulation of mobile technology and social media is very much not a one-off event? When the Bill that was to become the Online Safety Act was published, it was genuinely world-leading in many respects, but, as the hon. Member for Whitehaven and Workington (Josh MacAlister) pointed out, many countries have now introduced measures that go further. Should we not be taking action now and then continuing to develop it, rather than just introducing a series of reviews?
