I beg your pardon. Is it the Government’s position to adopt protections for children and then block meaningful routes of redress?
The Lord Speaker (Lord Fowler)
It is very important that those people asking supplementary questions keep them to a sensible time—otherwise, it simply knocks out other speakers lower down the list.

My Lords, the power of the creative industries is often expressed in its ability to generate £100 billion to the economy, but perhaps more important is its contribution to the national psyche. Since lockdown, one of the few bright spots in this difficult time has been to witness the irrepressible creativity and joy that results from the rise of book and film clubs, galleries and theatre online, ballet from the kitchen and rock legends performing in their bedrooms. Does the Minister recognise the need for a specific financial support package that does not look only to the immediate needs but rather recognises the atypical workforce and the length of time it takes to get an idea from page to public?
The Lord Speaker (Lord Fowler)
Congratulations, Lady Kidron, on getting through all the electronic feedback while you were putting your question.
