Concessionary Television Licences (EDM691)

Concessionary Television Licences

EDM number 691 in 1998-99, proposed by Brian Cotter on 26/05/1999.

That this House notes with concern reports suggesting that Her Majesty's Government is considering abolishing the concessionary television licence scheme; believes that the existing scheme should be extended, not reduced; calls on the Government to consult pensioners' groups about reform of the system; and believes that as a first step the Government should introduce free television licences for all those aged 75 and over.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
