I recognise those points and want to work closely with the Welsh Government on all these issues.
Mr Jonathan Brash (Hartlepool) (Lab)
It is clear that social media harms our children. I am firmly of the belief that when a child is being harmed, it is the Government’s duty to act. I support a ban, but even the most cursory engagement with Hartlepool residents shows me very clearly that there is a range of views among parents on this issue. Can the Secretary of State fathom what possibly could be the objection to listening to parents?
