answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>I am delighted that Yr Ysgwrn, the home of Hedd Wyn has recently reopened to the public, thanks to £2,972,500 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to repair and develop the buildings, and following its purchase in 2012 with money from both the Welsh Government and the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF). While funding decisions are made by the Heritage Lottery Fund independently of my Department, I am sure that Yr Ysgwrn will teach generations of visitors about Hedd Wyn’s experiences and the First World War and provide a suitable home for the related collections and archives, including Y Gadair Ddu, the 1917 National Eisteddfod chair awarded to him posthumously.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 09/10/2017 10:09:15 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

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
