A Bill to extend the criteria under which music and sports video works and documentaries lose their exemption from classification.
House of Commons
13 April 2010
This Bill would change the rules about when music videos, sports videos and documentaries must be classified. It extends the criteria for losing their exemption from classification, so more of these video works could need to go through the official classification process before they can be sold or shown. The aim is to ensure appropriate oversight of content in these formats.
The Bill is at its second reading in the House of Commons; after this it will move to the committee stage for detailed examination.
