Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 April 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I have heard from lawyers that if we were to lose another child to features which facilitate predatory extortionists or to grotesque algorithmic bombardment, which I am afraid can be only a matter of time, then legal action against Government Ministers for their negligence in failing to act on the evidence could well be successful under Article 2 of the Human Rights Act, following the Molly Rose Foundation report, which was not fully recommended on, and following the US social media cases. I am sure that is not something the Government want.
