Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 April 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I think every one of us would welcome the Government’s movement on mobile phones. In Northern Ireland, we had a pilot scheme to start with. We all welcome this measure on the issue of social media. It is for England and Wales, I understand, but will the shadow Secretary of State—I wanted to ask this in an intervention on the Secretary of State—consider passing on the details of the legislative change, so that we in Northern Ireland can take advantage of some of the good things coming forward? We should share those good things.
