PAN EUROPEAN GAME INFORMATION ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Early day motion 2630, tabled 23 January 2012 by Roger Godsiff (Labour). Signed by 7 members.

That this House notes with serious concern the present Pan European Game Information (PEGI) assessment criteria for video games rated acceptable for sale to 12-year-olds as established by the Digital Economy Act 2010; further notes that this classification views highly offensive and derogatory language as permissible; understands that the Government has yet to announce a time scale whereby the PEGI system will be incorporated into UK law; and calls on the Government to urgently review the PEGI system before this takes place.

Signatures by party: Labour 5, Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
