Asked by: Angela Richardson (Conservative - Guildford)
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has made a recent assessment of the potential merits of parental controls in video games; and whether she is taking steps to promote the use of such controls.
Answered by Julia Lopez - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)
This Government is committed to ensuring that the UK is one of the safest places to be online - this includes video games.
Parental controls are one of a number of tools that can be used to protect children from inappropriate or potentially harmful content on video game platforms.
The use and impact of such protections is being considered as part of this Government’s call for evidence on loot boxes in video games. The Government’s response to the call for evidence on loot boxes in video games will be published in the coming months.
