Mr Jonathan Brash

Labour — Hartlepool

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 September 2026

Debate

Online Safety

Contribution

Like parents and grandparents in Hartlepool, I find it incredible that technology companies even had to be asked to put software in place that protected against child sexual abuse. Having been asked, they apparently have said no. As the Secretary of State rightly points out, there will be further loopholes that need to be closed. Would it be better just to assume these companies’ moral bankruptcy and not ask in future, and just to legislate straightaway?
