(asked on 2nd April 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, for what reasons the introduction of age verification for online pornography has been delayed; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 9th April 2019
Age verification for online pornography is a world-leading measure to protect our children from adult content which is currently far too easy to access online. The Government, and the British Board of Film Classification as the regulator, are taking the time to get the implementation of this policy right and ensure it is effective. We will announce commencement plans shortly.
