About this Event

The issue of the moment will be: "Should youngsters be banned from social media?"

Whether the UK Government should ban access to social media for children has become a huge debate… particularly ON social media as well as in the House of Commons and the Lords.

There are those who say that the future well-being of the next generation depends on the decision.

The Stationers' Company and the London Press Club, in association, has pulled together a panel of experts who will thrash out the arguments.

The evening will start with a drinks reception, before the main discussion which will include a Q&A session. Sandwiches and refreshments will be served after the debate to allow for further networking.
