§ Mr. Alexander W. LyonNone. Each individual application is considered on652W its merits. As I said in the answer which I gave to a Question by the right hon. Member on 26th June, the circumstances in which refunds of a licence fee are given are strictly limited. Any application made for a refund would, of course, be looked at most carefully.—[Vol. 894, cols. 229–230.]
