Lord Scriven (LD)
My Lords, the Question asked by the noble Lord, Lord Butler, pointed out that voluntary industry regulation was not working, and evidence now exists that that is the case. Are the Government satisfied with continuing with industry-led regulation, or do they see that change is required to keep children safe from these loot boxes?
Baroness Twycross (Lab)
This is exactly the matter being dealt with in the research that the Government have commissioned, which will be published in the near future, along with the Government’s response. I am happy to invite noble Lords who have raised concerns about this into the department to be briefed on the research and the Government’s response in due course.
