Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2026

Debate

Better Start Longitudinal Programmes

Contribution

It is an important point that the noble Lord raises. This is being dealt with by the Government’s proposal to have a three-month consultation, so that we get it right in terms of acknowledging the concerns and challenges of screen time for children. So, I take the point that the noble Lord has made. This is of course a matter for DSIT. I will ensure that it is aware of the noble Lord’s comments, as well as the relevant departments—my department and the Department for Education—in respect of the programme that we are talking about.
