Mark Pritchard

Conservative — The Wrekin

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 June 2026

Debate

Role of Big Tech in Society

Contribution

The hon. Lady makes an important point. I will not name individual companies today—she has clearly put her views on the record—but no monopoly, be it a public or private sector monopoly, is good for our constituents, consumers and small and medium-sized businesses. She makes her case well. Will this universal knowledge that tech companies have—this data capture—always be used for good? Will it always be benign? Will it seek the common good or the corporate good?
