Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on the protections for children and young people proposed in the Online Harms White Paper of adopting DNS over HTTPS.

We recognise the potential for change that DNS over HTTPS introduces and are working with industry to ensure that regulatory needs can be provided for and to seek solutions to any potential issues with online protections.
