General
The reservation covers licensing of premises for film exhibition and the classification of video recordings.
The classification of films for public exhibition, which is carried out by the British Board of Film Classification, is also to be reserved. The Board is a non-statutory body established by the film industry in 1912 which certifies films as suitable for different categories of audience (or refuses a certificate).
Legislative competence in respect of the classification and supply of video recordings is also reserved. The matter of broadcasting is reserved separately by Section K1.
