Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 April 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
My right hon. Friend is generous in giving way. She is making the profound point—and this should concern every Member of this House across the normal party divides—that the abnormal is becoming routine. Growing up has never been easy and moving from childhood to adulthood is always a challenge, but when someone’s sense of what is normal is altered beyond recognition, it becomes impossible to navigate the vicissitudes that are an inevitable part of maturing, and that is where we are. This House took 25 years to regulate the internet at all—far too long—over successive Governments, but now the whole House can come together to protect our children from this menace.
