Oral Answers to Questions

Luke Hall Excerpts

Thursday 29th June 2017 Commons Chamber

[Luke Hall (Thornbury and Yate) (Con)]

A number of parents in my constituency are worried about the safety of their children online. Will my right hon. Friend update the House on what steps are being taken to make the internet a safer place?

[Matt Hancock]

As my hon. Friend will know, this is an incredibly important matter. Any parent knows the perils of young people growing up in the internet age, as well as the massive opportunities that it brings. The digital charter that Her Majesty announced as part of the Queen’s Speech will bring together those concerns and issues and ensure that we can lead the world in providing the right balance between freedom and security online.
