EMBARGO: Immediate Release 

Lib Dems: Govt's "failure to commit" to a ban on social media is "simply not good enough" 

Responding to the Government voting against a cross party amendment to ban social media for under 16s in the House of Commons, Munira Wilson MP, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Education, Children and Families, said:

"The Government’s failure to commit to a ban on harmful social media is simply not good enough - families need concrete assurances now.

“We need the Government to confirm that their consultation will not result in yet more dither and delay.”
