Australia: Social Media Algorithms
Does the Minister agree that the burden for safety should be with the platform rather than the user? She made reference to the Online Safety Act in terms of tackling algorithms in this way. Why has not Ofcom used those powers?

I thank the Minister, and I thank noble Lords for their support. This is clearly an area where we agree that there is a problem; we are very vulnerable in the United Kingdom. What we have in place is clearly not working sufficiently well if 60% of SMEs t

My Lords, I too thank the noble Baroness for introducing the Bill. From these Benches we welcome the Bill, but we feel that in a number of ways it does not go far enough. Hostile state actors, organised crime and others are increasingly targeting our sys
I thank the Minister for that reply. I hope he has read the adaptation report of the Climate Change Committee, in which it warns very clearly about the effects of increased flood and wildfire risk to the financial sector and the economy more generally. T
To ask His Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the long-term implications of climate change and nature loss for housing insurability, mortgage lending and household financial resilience.
I appreciate that. The Sargasso Sea is extremely important for hundreds of species, so will the Government advocate for the highest level of protection, under which all industrial fishing, in particular, is banned?
