Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 January 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

The Government have announced that Ministers will visit Australia to learn from its approach. I urge them to learn the right lessons. Australia has taken the stance of banning social media for under-16s, with a current list of 10 platforms. However, their approach demonstrates three critical flaws that Amendment 94A, as drafted, would replicate and that we must avoid.
