HC Deb 19 January 1984 vol 52 c284W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to carry out the promise made on 23 February 1983, Official Report, c. 439, to disabled people in residential homes of 5p concessionary television licences; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hurd

Soon, I hope. Our consideration of other proposals affecting the regulations should be completed shortly, and measures to extend the concessionary licence scheme to physically disabled and mentally disordered people in residential homes will be introduced as soon as possible after that.
