Digital Economy Bill [HL]

My Lords, I will be interested to hear the Minister's response to these amendments. Both amendments in this group deal with hybrid games material: that is to say, games containing both games and linear material. The amendment probes PEGI, while the amendment of the noble Baroness, Lady Howe, suggests a more specific solution. Does the Minister envisage PEGI automatically volunteering to give the BBFC classification rights over all linear work in a relevant game? Or does the Minister consider that there will be occasions where confirming the classification formally will be unnecessary? There is concern also about the labelling of such works. Games and linear material follow different levels of classification. A game based on a film that was classified as a 15 by the BBFC could be turned into a work with a minor amount of interactivity, which would suddenly move it to a 16 under games classification. I beg to move.
