That this House congratulates the young game designers of Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre who, in collaboration with the Tinderbox Collective have created the interactive game Escape Drylaw; understands that this project and others like it are invaluable in helping young people develop transferable skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, storytelling and digital design; notes the importance of young people engaging in their community and having safe spaces to express themselves creatively; and wishes the community success with their future projects.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether his Department has a process for designating an activity as either a sport or a game.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether his Department has a process for designating an activity as either a sport or a game.
The Government’s arm’s length body (ALB) for grassroots sport, Sport England, has a process for recognising activities. The objective of the recognition process is to identify sports that Sport England may wish to work with and the national bodies that govern them. The process is run jointly with the other three Home Country Sports Councils and UK Sport.
When deciding if an activity can be recognised, the Sports Councils refer to the definition of sport contained within the Council of Europe’s European Sports Charter. This states that:
“Sport means all forms of physical activity which, through casual or organised participation aim at expressing or improving physical fitness and mental well-being, forming social relationships or obtaining results in competition at all levels.”
As an example of this process, the English Chess Federation made an application for recognition in 2008, but this was turned down as the Sports Councils did not consider chess to be a physical activity. Therefore, it did not meet the Council of Europe’s definition.
That this House believes that dare cards which encourage inappropriate touching or sexual harassment of others should no longer be sold by retailers, this follows a recent sexual assault in Aberdeen City, where a man was sexually assaulted by a woman during a hen party dares game; and calls on Amazon and other online retailers to ban the sale of these dare cards.

I was also unaware of it, Mr Speaker, and I congratulate my hon. Friend. To defeat the House of Lords at bridge is no small matter, although I do wonder how many former world champions he recruited to his team in the absence of any other Members of Parliament. I...

I am sure the House is pleased to learn of the hon. Gentleman’s prowess and distinction at the bridge table. It is a prowess and distinction of which I was hitherto unaware, but I am now better informed.

The Government supports London's bid to host the Gay Games X in London in 2018. My Department will provide advice and assistance, as requested. We have not been asked to provide funding for the event.

My Department wholeheartedly backs the bid to bring the 2018 Gay Games to London. My officials have met with the London 2018 Bid Team to discuss the bid and the Minister for Sport and Tourism, my right hon. Friend the Member for Faversham and Mid Kent (Hugh Robertson), has written to confirm that my Department stand ready to provide advice and assistance to the bid.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what recent discussions she has had with organisers of the bid for London to host Gay Games X in 2018; and if such discussions have examined the possible use of Olympic facilities as part of the bid proposal.

The legacy use of Olympic and Paralympic facilities is a matter for the venue owners and I would therefore encourage the organisers to engage with the venues directly. The venue owner for the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is the London Legacy Development Corporation. My Department stands ready to facilitate discussions if necessary.
Westminster Hall adjournment debate on the computer games industry.
Westminster Hall adjournment debate on the computer games industry.
Is there not a criticism that there is a lack of strategic focus on the video games industry? I strongly support the investment in the Abertay graduate programme, but evidence indicates that the majority of young people who graduate from there are going abroad. They are not staying in the...

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this debate, which is important for jobs in Dundee. As he rightly identified, just five weeks before the general election, both coalition partners promised that they would introduce tax breaks for the industry. Has my hon. Friend had any indication as to why...

There has been an estimate. TIGA reckons that tax breaks would help 2,500 new jobs to be created and would maintain and protect 3,000 current jobs.

I understand 100% the point the Minister makes about the constraints in the financial sector. However, he also referred to the fact that this is a growing market and there is an opportunity. Can we at least have an assurance that the Government are continuing to consider ways to support...

The hon. Gentleman is quite right to say that there is a broader aspect to the matter. I was using ““Grand Theft Auto”” as a quick example rather than a widely based covering comment. As for the numbers cited by the hon. Gentleman, I say this. Businessmen should always face...

I can absolutely make that assurance. I would like to go back to some of the things that we are already doing, which I hope will bring a significant benefit to this industry and others.

That brings me neatly to one of the other points made by the hon. Gentleman. He accused us of having an over-simplistic, one-size-fits-all policy. The difference between here and Ireland is that, over 13 years under the previous Government, the UK developed one of the most complicated, long, difficult, baroque...

That is a fact of life in an increasingly globalising market. This is a globalising market, not just for the product of video games, but for the staff. Many other industries are already incredibly globalised, everything from financial to medical services. This sector will be going the same way. I...
