HL Deb 30 July 1998 vol 592 cc241-2WA
Lord Alton of Liverpool

asked the Leader of the House:

Whether she has any plans to propose the appointment of a House of Lords Select Committee to examine the annual report of the British Board of Film Classification. [HL2809]

The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Jay of Paddington)

It is for the Liaison Committee to propose the establishment of a House of Lords Select Committee. We have no specific plans at present to suggest that a committee to examine the Annual Report of the British Board of Film Classification for 1997–98 should be established, although we are happy to consider ways in which the accountability of the BBFC might be enhanced.
