Labour — Leicester West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 January 2026

Debate

Mobile Phones and Social Media: Use by Children

Contribution

My right hon. Friend the Education Secretary is leading on the guidance on screen time. I will definitely raise that issue with her. My primary schools are extremely worried about screen time. For children under 5, there are also implications for language development, fine motor skills and communication confidence. All those issues are important, but I will definitely raise the point about the impact on people’s eyes with my right hon. Friend.
