00:00The consultation needs to be broad. Yes, we do need to look at a ban for under-16s. We're
00:03consulting on that. There are strong views either way on that, but we need to look at a range of
00:09tools here that can be used, and that's what we're doing. But the real important thing for me to get
00:14across is this. It's not whether we're doing something. We are going to do something. We are
00:19going to protect children. The question is, what are we going to do? And then we've put the powers
00:24in place to move very quickly on this.
