Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government when the standstill period for the British Board of Film Classification's Guidance on Age-verification Arrangements ends; and when they intend to (1) lay that guidance before Parliament, and (2) announce the new date on which the age verification regime to prevent children accessing commercial pornography online will come into force.

It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available before Prorogation. Ministers will correspond directly with the Member.
