Linked Promises

LAB24-BRINGFORWARD-3F3ED8Labour

Partially fulfils

Labour will bring forward provisions of the Online Safety Act as quickly as possible and give coroners more powers to access information held by technology companies after a child's death.

The bill's long title includes 'to make provision about the retention of information by providers of internet services in connection with investigations into child deaths', which directly addresses the promise to 'give coroners more powers to access information held by technology companies after a child's death.' However, the promise also mentions bringing forward 'provisions of the Online Safety Act as quickly as possible', which is not addressed in this bill - the bill is the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, not the Online Safety Act itself, and there is no mention of commencing or bringing forward Online Safety Act provisions. Therefore, the bill only partially fulfils the promise by addressing the coroners' powers aspect but not the Online Safety Act commencement aspect.
