HC Deb 21 March 1929 vol 226 c1855
59. Major OWEN

asked the Postmaster-General whether there is any provision in the Regulations relating to wireless licences whereby totally incapacitated persons may be excused the payment of the annual licence?

Viscount WOLMER

No, Sir. The only wireless licences issued free of charge are those issued to blind persons under the provisions of the Wireless Telegraphy (Blind Persons Facilities) Act, 1926.

Major OWEN

Could not the Post Office make an administrative arrangement whereby people of this kind, who are unable personally to move, could have their licences free?

Viscount WOLMER

I am advised that that is a matter which would require legislation.
