BBFC rejects ELSPA stand on games ratings issue

BBFC logo - Image 1Who should handle game ratings in the UK? If ELSPA would have their way, it's PEGI, not BBFC. It was reported yesterday that ELSPA director general, Paul Jackson, finds the BBFC to be not in synch with the rest of the rating boards in the region.

Today however, BBFC defends itself against Jackson's claims, saying that they "reject ELSPA's claims." No catfight is happening, though, as BBFC instead simply pointed out that they do have supporters in the cause such as the Bryon Review and the CMS Select Committee.

They should be judged against the fact that both the Byron Review and the House of Commons CMS Committee have recommended a greater role for the BBFC in games classification... The BBFC's case will be developed in its response to the current government consultation.
