HC Deb 28 June 1983 vol 44 c53W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will review the provisions of existing legislation relating to pornography;

(2) if he will make a statement of Government policy on introducing further controls upon pornography.

Mr. Brittan

I will keep under close review the operation of existing legislation relating to pornographic and obscene material in general. I accept the need for more effective control of the sale and rental of video cassettes of a pornographic or violent nature, and I will make a further statement about this in due course.
