- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to help encourage video on demand services to adopt British Board of Film Classification age ratings.
- Answer
-
The Board of Film Classification’s (BBFC) well-recognised age ratings and content advice continue to be of huge value to audiences.
My Department is consulting with the BBFC and video-on-demand services on the role of age ratings, as part of work on the future regulation of video-on-demand services.
I was pleased to see the new partnership between Amazon Prime Video and BBFC. Netflix already carries BBFC age ratings across their entire UK catalogue and we welcome BBFC’s continued engagement with other providers in the sector.
