§ Mr. Moneyasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether, in view of the proposed increase in the licence, he will consider extending the concession regarding television licences at present available to certain old people's homes to registered homes for disabled persons.
587W
§ Mr. ChatawayNo. The special licence for old persons' homes was not provided as a welfare concession but to correct an anomaly in the licensing requirements for old persons' homes. There was no anomaly in the case of homes for the disabled and it would not be appropriate to extend the licence to these types of homes.
