Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 March 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

The Government still have the option to come to the table and work together to make an adequate settlement for children online. Children deserve better than a ban on social media; they deserve safety wherever they are online. They deserve more than safety; they deserve the right to flourish, free play, freedom of thought and freedom to participate in a world that is designed for them. The Government have the opportunity to do that. But taking vast powers with no plan is the worst of all worlds.
