Draft Online Safety Act 2023 (Qualifying Worldwide Revenue) Regulations 2025

John Hayes Excerpts

Tuesday 2nd September 2025 General Committees

[Sir John Hayes (South Holland and The Deepings) (Con)]

I know that the purpose of these regulations is to clarify and provide for the definition of revenue in accordance with the original legislation. I simply say to the Minister that this is a helpful further step, building on the progress that my hon. Friend the shadow Minister has described. It is vital that we ensure that these measures are implemented by Ofcom regularly and with enthusiasm where online providers are doing damage; that is their purpose. Parliament as a whole took too long to regulate the internet. The last Government did the right thing in doing so, and now we need to use this instrument to its full effect.
