HC Deb 06 July 1966 vol 731 cc419-20
29. Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Postmaster-General what estimate he has made of the annual loss of revenue from the evasion of television and radio licence fees; and what action he is taking to reduce the loss.

Mr. Edward Short

Some £9 million. Inquiries of households not recorded as licensed will be intensified, and the number of detector cars is being doubled. I am also considering ways in which dealers themselves could help in the enforcement of the licence system.

Mr. Speaker

Mr. Walker.
