Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

You have exemptions under the Video Recordings Act 1987. These exemptions will now be treated as if they were granted under section 44. They will have the same terms as before and will expire on the same date. You might have applied for an exemption before this law changed. If your application was not decided when the law changed, it will be cancelled. But you can still apply for an exemption under section 44 for the same publication. These rules apply to exemptions for films, videos, and publications.
