The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether she has received representations from the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Digital Creators on the subject of children's access to video-sharing platforms.

Answered by Kanishka Narayan

The government recently published a consultation and began a national conversation which sought views and evidence from across the UK on measures that could further protect children online and enhance their wellbeing.

This closed on 26 May and we are analysing the responses. We received over 116,000 responses to the consultation and we are considering the insights parents, children and other stakeholders have shared. We will publish a full list of organisations that responded to the consultation alongside a summary of responses.
