VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES AND AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR

Early day motion 1361, tabled 12 January 2006 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 53 members.

That this House notes with concern the study by the University of Missouri-Columbia demonstrating the clear link between the playing of violent video games and the greater propensity to commit aggressive acts; believes that the current safeguards preventing children from playing such games are inadequate; and calls on the Government to commission an independent study into the effects of the playing of violent video games on children.
