You are absolutely right, Mr Stringer. I apologise.

21 May 2026   Women’s Health and Wellbeing: Online Censorship

Yes, they would be. I am trying to say that the OSA does not limit this, but it does limit some of the other material. It is important that there is a place for the Government to say what platforms should or should not be able to publish, …

21 May 2026   Women’s Health and Wellbeing: Online Censorship

I thank everyone who joined us for the debate. As the hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Dr Spencer) said, it is one that we needed to have because so many people do not know about this issue. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Gl…
