While the Government propose a framework for monitoring addictive features, the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, to whom I pay tribute for her persistence in this campaign, proposes a framework for dismantling them, backed by direct legal recourse for families harmed by addictive design. However, we recognise the political reality that the amendment from the noble Lord, Lord Nash, commands significant support in the House. We on the Liberal Democrat Benches prefer the proportionate approach of the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, but to ensure that the Government make the necessary concessions, we will vote for the Motion in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Nash, as a means of maintaining leverage until the Government agree to a tighter, more effective framework.
