Sir John Hayes

Conservative — South Holland and The Deepings

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 November 2026

Debate

Antisocial Behaviour

Contribution

As the Minister has heard from Members across the Chamber, social media often plays a part in this problem. I mentioned Holbeach in my constituency, which has suffered from antisocial behaviour. Sometimes, the offenders are very young people indeed, who are communicating on the internet and boasting about what they are doing. Can she apply what she just described to that social media activity, so that the authorities can take action early, before the community suffers the consequences of what is being boasted about?
