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

My hon. Friend completely misses the point. The poll conducted by TNS, for which the BBFC paid a lot of money, involved a large sample and one of the country's top polling organisations. It was carried out with a view to changing the BBFC's 2005 guidelines. The clear, unmistakable outcome was that the public wanted the guidelines tightened. The BBFC went on to carry out a poll—I have described the methodology—on a website. That poll had none of those merits, and it produced the opposite result. The BBFC chose to follow that.
