Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 January 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I will finally say in public—having resisted for some time—what others, including Ian Russell, have been saying for months. Ofcom is too timid. It is too close to tech; it is too secretive; it has narrowed the scope. It has tackled the Act in the most bureaucratic fashion possible and has held Parliament in contempt by failing to enact all parts of the Act, including the different ages, as the noble Lord, Lord Knight, said. Nothing will change until Ofcom changes.
