Television Licence Fee

HC Deb 23 March 1967 vol 743 c340W

Mr. Pardoe

asked the Postmaster-General how much of the present television licence fee is attributable to the cost of B.B.C. 2.

Mr. Joseph Slater

The B.B.C.'s home broadcasting services are integrated and much of the expenditure cannot be specifically charged to any one of the programme services. Accordingly, the B.B.C. tell me that they cannot make an attribution of the kind sought which would be sufficiently reliable.
