Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 November 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Internet and Video Games.
Internet and Video Games
Let me apologise to you, Mr. Bercow, and to the hon. Gentleman for missing his earlier remarks. The fact remains that some of those games, even though they are a minority, are very violent. The hon. Gentleman and I have both commented on the video internet game ““Kaboom”” in which people replicate the activities of a suicide bomber. It cannot be right that the makers of those games should choose such storylines to provide entertainment, especially on the internet, where our children and under-18s can access them more easily than if they were going into a shop to buy them, as with non-internet games?
