SALE BY ROCKSTAR GAMES OF THE `BULLY' VIDEO GAME (EDM1172)

SALE BY ROCKSTAR GAMES OF THE `BULLY' VIDEO GAME

EDM number 1172 in 2005-06, proposed by Keith Vaz on 30/11/2005.

That this House denounces the recent rise in violent video games; condemns the forthcoming video game Bully, which allows players to adopt the persona of Jimmy Hopkins, a 15-year-old thug who has been incarcerated in a boys' boarding school, and in which points can be scored by terrorising other pupils with a range of physical and psychological abuse; notes with grave concern that last year more than 31,000 children and young people spoke to a ChildLine counsellor about bullying; and calls on the Government to urge the British Board for Classification to take a much more cautious approach with this game and to ban it from being sold in the United Kingdom.

This motion has been signed by a total of 52 MPs.
