HC Deb 26 March 1974 vol 871 c68W
34. Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will consider making provision through the supplementary benefit system for concessions on television licences for the elderly living on their own.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

The Government consider that it is better to give additional cash resources which pensioners can spend as they please, as will be done by the pension increases announced by my right hon. Friend.
