Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 January 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

The Government have shown that they will act only under pressure, not principle. That leaves me no good option on the table. I am not prepared to wait another 10 years. I will vote first with the Lib Dems and then with the noble Lord, Lord Nash. We must send something to the Commons so that they have to account for the needs of parents and children in the UK. I hope that the Government will have a better answer than a ban. But if we do not send them something, they will have nothing to answer. A consultation is the playground of the tech lobbyist and inaction is the most powerful tool in politics.
