Media Bill

Proceeding contribution from Miriam Cates (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 January 2024. It occurred during Debate on bills on Media Bill.

I take my right hon. Friend’s point. However, the BBFC classifies not just films but items that are streamed directly and never released in cinemas by tagging every rateable incident, such as a swear word or an episode of violence, and uses that system to come up with a verifiable, standardised rating that everyone understands. It is exactly the same process as the one that is used to verify a video on demand, and it is what Netflix already uses to rate its own videos.
