RAPELAY VIDEO GAME

Early day motion 818, tabled 23 February 2009 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 42 members.

That this House is appalled that a video game that simulates rape has been readily available for sale on the internet; warmly welcomes Amazon's decision to withdraw the web page for the Japanese video game Rapelay; firmly believes that video games featuring high levels of violence can be detrimental to those playing them; notes that every year an estimated three million women experience rape, domestic violence, stalking or another form of abuse; and calls on the Government to ban such games from sale in the UK, including through online retailers.

Signatures by party: Labour 23, Liberal Democrat 9, DUP 4, Conservative 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Scottish National Party 1, UUP 1.
