Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Things are moving, and that is why we have tabled an amendment today that will be debated later in the month—I hope on 18 March. It will confer a regulation-making power to enable us to expand the scope of the Online Safety Act to include unregulated generative AI services, such as chatbots. The amendment should have been tabled no later than 4 pm today; I apologise that the House has not had sight of it. I have tried to give details of the amendment to the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron. It will ensure that providers are bound to assess the level of risk held on their services and to take steps to protect users from illegal material, including by preventing CSAM.
