Speeches by Perteghella.

“Academics often focus on the mixed evidence about the impact of screentime and the lack of a causal link to harms. Why do you think there is such a disconnect between academic research, which as we have heard is going very slowly, and public opinion? Also, do you think there is a case for action now, while the research…”

“The European Commission’s preliminary findings, published in October last year, said that Meta does not have sufficient mechanisms for children and parents to report illegal content. As we have heard, examples of that include sex offenders, suicide fora, violent pornography and misogyny, and so on. How are you tackling…”

“Does anyone else want to add?”

“Laura, we also heard some serious concerns regarding Roblox. There have been accusations that it is possible for people to create games depicting the mass shootings at Sandy Hook and Columbine, and even recreating Epstein island. What are you doing about that?”

“Alistair, we have heard that children as young as five use your livestreaming facilities. We also know from the OCCIT report that these livestream files end up shared by sex offenders. What are you doing about it?”

“Thank you. Do particular groups of children have especially negative experiences when using social media and gaming websites, compared with other groups of children?”

“My next question is also on the guidance. The Education Policy Institute noted that the guidance did not include advice on managing screentime when children have older siblings and ensuring a consistent approach when children are with other family members. Professor Orben, what guidance should be offered on those issue…”

“Ofcom’s data shows that 23% of under-13s in the UK have a TikTok account, 14% have an Instagram profile and 19% have a Facebook profile, despite being under the minimum age restriction. Your age assurance or verification measures are not working, are they?”

“Professor Orben, do you have anything to add?”

“The game developers say that 30% of games flagged up for concerns get accepted. How do you respond to that?”

“How would you assess the effectiveness of the Government’s guidance on screentime for children up to the age of five?”

“Professor Orben?”

“Yes, on screentime.”

“That is fine. Professor Etchells, are there any other omissions from the guidance that you would like to highlight to us?”

“I fully agree with the right hon. Gentleman. Local heating companies have also stopped delivering for consortia, which provided a way for villagers to work together and pay less for their oil by buying in bulk. That has now stopped. The Government support does not match the reality that people are facing. It works out …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dr Allin-Khan. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for North Norfolk (Steff Aquarone) for securing this timely debate. Nearly 13,000 households in Stratford-on-Avon, including mine, are off the gas grid and rely on heating oil and LPG. That is a huge number of people left e…”

“My question is for Daniel and Margaret. The Government have said that they will introduce an individual support plan for children and young people with SEND. When do you expect schools to have capacity to deliver individual support plans to a consistently high standard and are there any concerns about their ability to …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir John. The regulations for Warwickshire county council are an opportunity to move real responsibility in the right direction: out of Whitehall and into Warwickshire. It is right that adult education functions sit with Warwickshire county council, giving local leaders f…”

“My question is also for Daniel and Margaret, and it is about school accountability. How do you expect the new SEND accountability expectations, such as the requirement to publish an inclusion strategy report, the monitoring of the use of the inclusion funding and the Ofsted-announced focus on inclusion to impact school…”
