Finally, I congratulate the Home Secretary, the Secretary of State for DSIT and the Safeguarding Minister on the Government’s recent announcement that they will introduce legislation to make it illegal to possess, create or distribute AI tools designed to create child sexual abuse material. But I am also keen to recognise that this proposal was originally brought forward by this House as an amendment to this Bill and its predecessor. It would not have been possible without the hard work and support of countless noble Lords and MPs to secure this new law, including but not limited to the noble Lords, Lord Clement-Jones, Lord Stevenson and Lord Bethell, the noble Viscount, Lord Camrose, the noble Baroness, Lady Harding, and my noble friend Lord Russell.
