Mr Wallace
My hon. Friend is right to raise these real concerns about online access, which is why the Department for Education and the Home Office work together on campaigns such as Cyber Aware to bring good computer hygiene and caution into the classroom so that children are not exploited online. It is also why the Government invest in the Prevent programme to make sure that the people doing this are brought to justice and that the online space is not the dangerous place it could be.
Gareth Snell (Stoke-on-Trent Central) (Lab/Co-op)

He is progressing with that despite there being no public support. Why are the opinions of one commissioner worth more than those of 106 councillors?
