Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 March 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

A number of noble Lords, the so-called Lords tech team, have worked with all UK Governments for more than a decade and a half, in times when there was less evidence and less public concern. If we had managed to get everything that we had argued for, we would already have red lines for AI and have prevented addictive products. We would already have mandatory risk assessments for CSAM and privacy standards for edtech. We would have spared bereaved families years of distress in trying to get information from the courts, and chatbots would have already been covered by law. We did not get everything we wanted, but we did work together and this Government have shied away from doing that.
