HC Deb 14 March 1991 vol 187 c649W
Mr. Terry Davis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has yet received the report of the investigation undertaken by the Federation Against Copyright Theft at the request of the Video Standards Council into the background circumstances of two surveys undertaken by the BirminghamSunday Mercury into age-restricted videos being rented to children below the specified age.

Mr. John Patten

The Video Standards Council—a trade body—sent us a copy of this report last August. The report urged video dealers to be more careful to comply with the law and supported tougher enforcement against those who do not. It did not call for any immediate action by the Government.
