uin	3779
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2017 answer text <p>In 2012, following full public consultation on options, the Government brought into force a single classification system for video games, based on the Pan European Games Information (PEGI) age ratings. The PEGI ratings criteria are reviewed on an annual basis, and the latest moderation in 2016 ushered in a number of modifications. These are influenced by the UK Sensibilities Study, which our Games Rating Authority is required to take into account as per the Video Recordings Act. Age ratings play an important role in providing greater clarity for consumers around the age-suitability of products, and Government will continue to work with industry and the age ratings bodies to encourage their further promotion.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 13/07/2017 15:01:19 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

uin	3780
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2017 answer text <p>Age restrictions are applied at the point of sale, which means that any retailer convicted of supplying a PEGI 12, 16 or 18 product to someone not meeting the specific age requirement faces a possible jail term and/or fine. Educational initiatives such as AskAboutGames are in place to encourage parents/carers to look carefully at the age ratings and content advice when making purchases for children, and Government will continue to work with industry to support adults to making responsible, informed decisions that protect children from inappropriate content.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 13/07/2017 15:02:20 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
