British Board of Film Classification (Accountability to Parliament and Appeals) Bill

The short answer to my hon. Friend's question is that it deals with some, but not others. As I said at the outset, a private Member's Bill can do only so much. Whole areas of the media, such as the internet, are completely unregulated except with regard to child pornography. I am trying to set boundaries for the BBFC, which is what we already have, but I have already made it clear that that can be only a beginning. As we shift progressively away from straightforward videos and DVDs towards the wider world that he mentioned, any measures will have to be broadened.
