Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 March 2026
Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
Amendment 300 introduces rock-bottom safeguards on consent, age verification and accountability on pornography websites to verify the age and consent of everyone featured on their site and to enable withdrawal of consent at any time. No material should be published unless every individual has given explicit consent as a verified adult. This should be the bare minimum standard we put on these porn sites. For those who think this is theoretical, cases currently in the courts in France involve allegations of rape, gang rape, trafficking and aggravated pimping during porn production, with videos uploaded to mainstream platforms.
