AS a parent of two boys aged 10 and 14, I am pleased that the Government is planning to take action on violent video games.

I am sure that other parents will agree how difficult it is at the moment to ensure children are not playing unsuitable games, and the clear cinema-style classification system would be a real help.

The manufacturers and promoters of video games also need to take some responsibility by developing a wider range of material that will appeal to younger children and is suitable for their age and maturity.
