Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what meetings he has had with (a) the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, (b) the Home Secretary and (c) expert organisations on the Online Harms Bill.

Ministers have regular meetings and discussions with their ministerial colleagues on a range of issues, including the proposed legislation on online safety.

I and many of my ministerial colleagues and representatives from expert organisations attended the virtual summit on hidden harms, which my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, hosted on 21 May. More details are available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prime-ministers-virtual-summit-on-hidden-harms.

Following the summit, the government reiterated its commitment to introducing a world-leading regulatory framework to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online.

I will be meeting with my hon. Friend, the Minister of State for Digital and Culture, to discuss our approach to online harms.
