Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Video Recordings Bill (Allocation of time motion).
Video Recordings Bill (Allocation of Time)
I do not agree that we are talking about the same thing. A film with inappropriate content is not interactive. The point about video games, which is backed up by research from America, is that the player is part of the process. Players shoot and stab people in a video game, and that is different. I accept that inappropriate content is wrong, wherever it is found, but video games are different.
