That this House expresses concern on the rising prevalence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chatbots incorporated into social media for children; highlights that children have difficulty distinguishing between human and chatbot and so are uniquely vulnerable to addictive and harmful algorithms, which pose a mental health threat; acknowledges that psychiatrists and clinical psychologists found that chatbots are known to affirm delusions, potentially induce psychosis and fail to challenge harmful behaviours; states that over one third of children say that talking to a chatbot is like talking to a friend and one in four teenagers report using chatbots for emotional support; and believes that this is deeply concerning and constitutes a blind spot in the government's efforts to keep children safe online and must be addressed urgently.

That this House notes with deep sadness the recent deaths of young people and others in lakes, reservoirs, rivers, ponds and other open water during the recent period of hot weather; extends its condolences to the families, friends and communities affected by these tragedies; recognises the particular dangers posed by cold water shock, hidden currents, sudden changes in depth, underwater hazards, restricted access for emergency services and the absence of lifeguards at many inland water sites; further recognises that young people may underestimate these risks, especially during warm weather and school holiday periods; believes that clear, visible and repeated public health messaging can help prevent further loss of life; calls on the Government to work with local authorities, schools, water companies, emergency services, broadcasters, social media platforms, the Royal Life Saving Society UK, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and other water safety organisations to deliver a national television and social media campaign targeted at young people and parents; and further calls for that campaign to promote practical water safety advice, including swimming only in supervised locations, avoiding reservoirs and unauthorised open water sites, recognising the signs of cold water shock, and knowing what to do when someone gets into difficulty in the water.

That this House expresses its deep sorrow at the deaths of at least 82 workers in the Liushenyu coal mine explosion in Shanxi province on 23 May 2026; notes with alarm evidence of concealed tunnels, falsified drawings, unregistered labour, and the deliberate removal of life saving safety systems, all pointing to systemic malpractice driven by profit at the expense of human life; condemns the exploitation of workers denied basic protections, accountability and visibility, and recognises that the absence of trackers and accurate records directly worsened the loss of life and hindered rescue efforts; draws stark parallels with the United Kingdom’s own history of mining tragedies where generations of tightly bound communities endured devastating loss due to unsafe practices and weak oversight; pays tribute to the trade union movement whose tireless campaigning in the UK secured hard won rights, stronger regulation and a safety-first culture; warns that the same patterns of deregulation, concealment and corporate negligence seen in this disaster are precisely those unions fought to eradicate; calls on the Government to champion international labour standards and stand shoulder to shoulder with trade unions globally in demanding transparency, enforcement and justice for workers; and urges that the lessons etched into Britain’s mining communities, paid for in countless lives, must never be forgotten and must guide a renewed global commitment to protect every worker, everywhere.

That this House is gravely concerned at the apparent impunity enjoyed by state forces and paramilitary operatives across the globe engaging in the targeted killing of journalists and media workers, with one-hundred-and-twenty-eight killings globally recorded by the International Federation of Journalists in 2025 alone; recognises the significant harm to press freedom where perpetrators are not held to account; highlights the unprecedented targeting and killing of journalists during the war on Gaza by Israeli forces, with at least 235 Palestinian journalists and media workers killed there since 7 October 2023, with killings continuing despite the October 2025 ceasefire announcement; expresses its sincere condolences to the family and friends of the victims, whose dedication to reporting the truth ultimately cost them their lives; calls on all states to uphold international law and desist from attacks on journalists; and requests the UK Government to support the draft United Nations Convention on the Protection of Journalists and Media Professionals, a new binding international instrument dedicated to the safety of journalists proposed by the International Federation of Journalists and endorsed by the National Union of Journalists and to work through the Media Freedom Coalition and bilateral structures to advance the case for such a Convention that would require states to protect journalists in all circumstances, investigate every crime, and prosecute the perpetrators.

That this House condemns the increasing misuse of catapults against wildlife, domestic animals, private property and persons in both urban and rural settings; commends the work of Naturewatch Foundation and other animal welfare organisations in raising awareness of this issue and in seeking to reduce the number of innocent victims of wildlife crime and human injury linked to catapult misuse; supports the development of proportionate legislative provisions relating to the sale, possession and use of catapults in order to protect persons, animals and property; believes that such measures would provide greater clarity for law enforcement, strengthen animal welfare protections and improve public safety; and calls on the Government to engage with relevant stakeholders and give due consideration to the introduction of such legislation.

That this House notes that rail operator Chiltern, which was appointed as the operator of the initial phase of East West Rail by the Department for Transport, has informed the rail unions of its intention to operate the route via Driver Only Operation (DOO); further notes that, under DOO, there is no guarantee of a second safety-critical person on all services to undertake vital functions, including deterring anti-social behaviour, assisting accessibility for disabled and older passengers, responding to incidents, emergency evacuations, safe dispatch and dealing with fires; believes the recent attacks on an LNER service at Huntingdon station reinforce the vital role played by on-train staff, including during emergencies; understands that, in 2026, Chiltern will be renationalised and come into public ownership; believes that passengers feel more safe and secure if there is a guarantee of a second safety-critical person on the train; and calls on the Government to instruct Chiltern to withdraw its plans for DOO.
