A new joint “super committee” of Parliament has been created to scrutinise the Government’s proposed Online Safety Bill and is calling for public views on the draft legislation.
It will be chaired by Damian Collins, the former chairman of the House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Select Committee, who said MPs and peers would go through the Bill “line by line” to make sure it was “fit for purpose”.
