A recent Ofcom survey found that 60% of parents think 9pm is the right time for adult content to be shown on television and that 89% of people understand what the watershed is. However, protections do not cease at 9pm. The transition to more adult material must not be unduly abrupt and the strongest material should appear later in the evening.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 19/12/2018 16:46:28 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
