Dr. Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what proposals she has for introducing legislation to reduce the
amount of violence on television. [8929]
Mrs. Bottomley: [holding answer 13 December 1996]:
Existing legislation, recently extended to new digital services by the Broadcasting Act 1996, sets a framework within which
broadcasters and their regulators are responsible for the content and scheduling of programmes. There is no need to amend that
legislation framework. I have recently agreed with the chairmen of the BBC, ITC and BSC a co-ordinated programme of action to meet
public concern about levels of violence of television.

Dr. Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what evidence her Department has recently evaluated on the
amount of violence on television. [8930]
Mrs. Bottomley: [holding answer 13 December 1996]:
The BBC, ITC and BSC recently provided me with wide-ranging reports on violence on television and action taken to protect vulnerable
viewers. The main source of evidence provided on the amount of violence on television was a study by Sheffield university, funded by
the ITC, the BSC, the BBC and other broadcasters, which suggests that the amount of violence on terrestrial television has fallen in
recent years. We shortly expect further results from that study, taking in a wider range of channels.

Broadcasting Standards Council and (b) the Independent Television Commission in relation to violence on television. [8928]
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley: [13 December 1996]: The BSC and the ITC will be revising their codes relating to violence and other
programming issues in 1997. Their existing statutory powers are sufficient to ensure that those revised codes are complied with.

Mr. Simon Coombs: To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage when she will publish the results of her consultation about
the V-chip. [8817]
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley: I have today issued a report of my Department's consultation on the V-chip. Copies have been placed in the
Libraries of the House.
I have also announced today a programme for action designed to deal with rising public concern about violence on television. My
Department will co-operate with the BBC, the Independent Television Commission and the Broadcasting Standards Commission on a
programme to improve the information available to viewers about the content of programmes to be broadcast, and to publicise the
policies on scheduling and the watershed. I will give my personal support to his initiative at a seminar for broadcasters to be
organised by the BSC early in the new year.
The ITC and the BSC will review their codes of practice and the regulators will continue to ensure that programme makers adhere to
them. My Department is also prepared to contribute to the funding of research into the potential of new technologies to provide
extra support for viewers if the BSC believes that such research would be useful.

Mr. Dafis: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what studies have been (i) carried out and (ii) commissioned by his
Department into the effectiveness of the enforcement of the current law on the availability of violent videos to children. [4464]
Mr. Sackville: We are aware of no studies directed specifically at the effectiveness of the enforcement of the current law on the
availability of violent videos to children. However, last year my right hon. and learned Friend commissioned research by the
University of Birmingham into the effects of videos on the behaviour of young offenders. The results of the research are expected to
be published in October 1997.
Earlier this month, in view of the considerable public concern about the level of violence portrayed in videos, my right hon. and
learned Friend asked the British Board of Film Classification for a report on the action the board is taking now to reduce the level
of violence in videos; the steps it is taking to assess the level of public concern over the issue of violence in videos; and how,
for the future, the board plans to adapt its processes and approach to continue properly to discharge its duties under the Video
Recordings Act 1984. The report is expected next month.
