Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 April 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Secondly, we have strengthened the scope and clarity of the power. We have been explicit about the purposes for which it can be used, stipulating that it can only be exercised for protecting children from online harms. In addition, we recognise that children of different ages experience the online world in different ways. That is why we have also made an amendment that makes clear that any future regulation must take that into account, ensuring that protections are properly targeted and proportionate.
