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

I have not intervened to give the hon. Gentleman my date of birth. Perhaps one way to improve the worthy intentions of the Bill, to make it representative and to ensure that the trigger mechanism was party to a representative body of people would be to go beyond the concept of a parliamentary trigger and have a people trigger. That might include in Committee a trigger mechanism by way of a petition with the signatures of an appropriate number of people. Those people would be a representative body expressing views about something that is of general concern—the number of deplorable videos and DVDs that are coming into our homes.
