Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)
My Lords, although I cannot give the actual details of the online harms Bill, that duty of care will push that responsibility on to those internet service providers and platforms to do just that, to protect our children.
Lord Mann (Non-Afl)
The question we really want answered is whether the Home Office is pressing for, and the Government are going to provide parliamentarians with, the opportunity to vote in Parliament to create criminal sanctions against the internet companies that are failing to deal with this depravity.
Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)
I certainly look forward to having those discussions with parliamentarians in your Lordships’ House, many of whom have such expertise in this area.
