Asked

Innovation and Technology, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of social media on young people’s wellbeing.

Reply

I know parents are worried about how social media impacts children's wellbeing.Two weeks ago, we published a study led by Professor Amy Orben which reviewed recent causal research on this issue and found it to be inconclusive. There is more to be done, which is why we announced a swift consultation, backed by a national conversation.We will gather the evidence necessary to identify next steps and give children the childhood they deserve.

Asked

Innovation and Technology, what steps his Department is taking to help improve mobile phone coverage in Shipley constituency.

Reply

The Government is committed to improving mobile coverage across the UK. Ofcom’s recent coverage reporting shows that 99% of Shipley has 4G geographic coverage from all four mobile operators. Non-standalone 5G is available from at least one mobile operator outside 99% of premises.I am aware that Ofcom’s coverage data does not always reflect consumers’ experience of mobile networks at a local level, and I am intent on ensuring Ofcom takes all necessary steps to improve its accuracy. Our ambition is for all populated areas to have high-quality standalone 5G by 2030, and we are committed to ensuring we have the right policy and regulatory framework to support investment and competition.
