Labour — Monmouthshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 March 2025

Debate

Protection of Children (Digital Safety and Data Protection) Bill

Contribution

I welcome the work being done at Monmouth comprehensive in my constituency, where the headteacher is pushing forward a smartphone ban, because grades increase by almost two levels where schools have banned mobile phones.
