00:00It's really important that the Prime Minister himself, and he has been ever since becoming
00:04Prime Minister and indeed before, be really cognisant of the challenges faced by young
00:08people online. We are listening very closely to the young people themselves, to parents
00:14and also to victims groups because they have experienced the death of children. A ban is
00:20on the table. It has never been off the table but we need to look really carefully that
00:24we don't lose all the benefits as well as mitigate the challenges. But we have kept
