Author/activist Tanya Byron has 'difficult' meeting with MP about game laws

Relating to this and this article, author/activist Dr. Tanya Byron had a meeting with anti-gaming violence MP Keith Vaz. How did it go? "Difficult," said Byron.
"I felt it was an important meeting, as I know Mr. Vaz has many criticisms of the games industry - and these are often reported widely and can be quite damaging for the industry. I talked to him about my positive experience of the industry – and my experience of ELSPA members in this room."

"I think different people will pick up different elements of the report and that’s fine – I’ve been surprised that it’s met so many needs for so many people. But my biggest fear is that it will be used for currency – whether that’s political or currency within the industry. I don’t want that to happen. [...] It’s not as simple as violent games making people violent. I’ve never said that, and would be sure to disagree with anyone who inferred that from the Review."
