Age checks for online porn are expected to come into force around Easter 2019, as peers yesterday signed off on the final regulations and guidance despite acknowledging they will not be wholly efficient.
The roll-out of the controversial rules is about a year later than the government had hoped, as it had to give the regulator, the British Board of Film Classification, time to draw up and consult on its guidance.
That guidance was finally published in October and approved by the House of Lords in a two-hour debate last night.
However, the general consensus among peers was that the regulations won't fully solve the problem they aim to address – c***dren stumbling across porn online – while warning of negative effects.
"What we have before us will not achieve what the government intend, and may actually have unintended consequences and run the risk of stalling other, better alternatives, which I think we may have to consider in due course," said Labour peer Lord Stevenson of Balmacara.
