Proceeding contribution from Lord Vaizey of Didcot (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 October 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Internet (Governance).


Internet (Governance)

I will not even try to say it. I will not give any views on that approach because I do not want to set any hares running. There is also the self-regulatory approach to try to protect people from inappropriate content on the internet, and I welcome the ISPs' code of conduct on active choice, which is designed to do precisely what the hon. Lady says, to give parents easy tools with which to protect their children. My approach with these businesses is to say, ““This is the policy problem. You have the technical knowledge, so help us to solve it. Don't simply say, 'It can't be done'.”” Sitting suspended for a Division in the House.
