HC Deb 19 October 1992 vol 212 c6W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will review the code of practice governing the behaviour of television licence officers in respect of the carrying out of their work with full regard for courtesy and crime prevention.

Mr. Brooke

Under the Broadcasting Act 1990 responsibility for issuing TV licences and enforcing the licensing requirement was transferred to the BBC with effect from 1 April 1991. The question should accordingly be re-directed to the secretary of the BBC.

Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what plans he has to review the regulations surrounding concessionary television licences for those resident in accommodation for short and long-term physically and mentally disabled persons.

Mr. Brooke

We have no plans to review the regulations governing the concessionary licence scheme.
