Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2025

Debate

Protection of Children Codes of Practice

Contribution

The Minister may well have read the letter that was sent to the noble Baroness, Lady Jones, on 21 May from the chairs of two Select Committees, Chi Onwurah MP and the noble Baroness, Lady Keeley, complaining about the scrutiny process. This is powerful stuff coming from the chairs of two Select Committees. We really have to find a better way of doing it, particularly in this implementation period of the Online Safety Act, which so many of us helped to get on the statute books. We cannot just rely on regret Motions. This is my second regret Motion, and I do not want to be in a position of laying a regret Motion about the SI that the noble Lord, Lord Russell, mentioned, and to keep doing this on a continual basis.
