Baroness Barran (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 April 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Before the Minister sits down, both the noble Lord, Lord Mohammed, and I raised the issue of smartphones as distinct from mobile phones. I understood the Minister to say that she would consider improving the guidance to make it clear that “not seen, not heard” was not in line with the spirit of the guidance. Will she also undertake to look at whether there is any refinement that could be considered in relation to smartphones?
