Rapelay Video Game

EDM number 818 in 2008-09, proposed by Keith Vaz on 23/02/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Information technology and Sexual offences.

That this House is appalled that a video game that simulates rape has been readily available for sale on the internet; warmly welcomes Amazon's decision to withdraw the web page for the Japanese video game Rapelay; firmly believes that video games featuring high levels of violence can be detrimental to those playing them; notes that every year an estimated three million women experience rape, domestic violence, stalking or another form of abuse; and calls on the Government to ban such games from sale in the UK, including through online retailers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
