Internet and Video Games

May I make a point to my hon. Friend? In his response to the right hon. Member for Leicester, East (Keith Vaz), he has implied that ““Kaboom”” is somehow a legitimate video game that breaches the boundaries of taste, but it is not. It was created by an individual in his bedroom. To say that we should ban ““Kaboom”” is, with the greatest respect to my hon. Friend, slightly missing the point.““Kaboom”” is not subject to any legal constraints. It cannot be submitted to a regulator to be classified, because it is made by an individual, effectively illegally, outside the mainstream, just as violent pornographic films or child abuse photographs are. It is not at all part of the mainstream video games industry.
