We could, and should, have placed enforcement at the forefront from the beginning. Instead, the Government have repeatedly blocked attempts even to discuss the issue. This amendment would introduce a clear requirement for a review within six months of the Ofcom enforcement powers that are relevant to the Bill. The parliamentary arithmetic is against the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, but I say this to the Government: it is within your gift to create a portal for desperate parents and to bring forward a timely review of Ofcom’s enforcement powers. The continued refusal to do so, while persisting with headline-grabbing announcements about new duties, does not change the lived experience of children.
