Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

This is a pattern of failure to properly implement the Online Safety Act as a whole. In spite of several attempts to meet Ministers and after speaking to both Ofcom and the former Secretary of State, I rang two of the relevant companies in the US, and both suggested a practical path forward that would allow our law to be fully enacted. I hope that, when responding, the Minister will fully update the House if a deal has not been done and agree to meeting all relevant Ministers as a matter of urgency to discuss the proposals I received, which I have tried to tell the Minister about, and I have not been granted a meeting.
