Dr Luke calls for social media ban for under-16s

Like many people across our community who have written to me about the impact of social media and the proposed ban. I, too, want to see it banned for people under the age of 16.

I share concerns about the role of social media in society and the impact it can have on a person's self-esteem and well-being. 
 
As a GP, I saw first-hand the negative impact that social media can have on children, and I have had countless conversations with parents and children about this since I became your MP.
 
This is Conservative Party policy, and I hope the Prime Minister takes decisive action and adopts it swiftly.
