Independent — Dewsbury and Batley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 September 2026

Debate

Infants, Parents and Carers Bill

Contribution

To extend that point, does the hon. Gentleman agree that the use of screens by adults or people in the room with the child can also have an adverse impact? It is almost like second-hand smoke in the ’80s; we have now banned smoking indoors to protect people who do not smoke, including children. It is important to educate parents and carers on the use of screens in the presence of a child as well as on allowing the child to use screens.
