In 2014 the government enacted an amendment to the Video Recordings Act ending exemptions from BBFC censorship for music videos (amongst others). Only those videos 'possibly' requiring a 12 certificate need to be submitted to the BBFC. The law provides a
check list of content that should be submitted to the censors.
