Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 June 2026

Debate

Social Media Ban for Under-16s

Contribution

A decade ago, I marched with other young people to Parliament Square calling for votes at 16 to be introduced after the Brexit referendum, and I am proud that this Labour Government are doing that. However, how will we ensure that young people are well informed when they cast their first ballot, given that they are digital natives and get a lot of their information online?
