HC Deb 27 November 1987 vol 123 cc365-6W
Mr. Hind

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people have been convicted as a result of prosecutions brought under the Video Recordings Act.

Mr. John Patten

The Video Recordings Act 1984 is being introduced in stages, the first of which came into effect on 1 September 1985. The data held centrally, which may be incomplete, show no record of any prosecutions

under the Act in 1985 and one person found guilty of an offence under the Act in 1986. Information for 1987 is not yet available.
