Online Safety Bill

Proceeding contribution from Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 September 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Online Safety Bill.

The review mechanism strikes me as one of the places where the Bill falls down and is weakest, because there is not a dedicated review mechanism. We have needed this legislation for more than 30 years, and we have now got to the point of legislating. Does the Minister understand why I have no faith that future legislation will happen in a timely fashion, when it has taken us so long even to get to this point? Can he give us some reassurance that a proper review will take place, rather than just having Ofcom reports that may or may not be read?
