B.B.C. (Licence Revenue)

HC Deb 12 February 1963 vol 671 c151W

Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will now allow the British Broadcasting Corporation to retain the entire proceeds of television and radio licences.

Mr. Barber

The whole of the net licence revenue is already paid to the B.B.C. If the hon. Member is referring to the television licence excise duty, that is a budgetary matter.
