PAN EUROPEAN GAME INFORMATION ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

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.
