§ Mr. ByersTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what plans he has to extend the concessionary television licence scheme to cover all housing schemes which have the services of a warden who is either residential or on call.
§ Mr. Dorrell[holding answer 14 February 1995]: As indicated in paragraph 5.17 of the White Paper "The Future of the BBC" (Cm 2621) published in July 1994, the Government considers that any review of the concessionary scheme aimed at removing perceived anomalies would most likely have the effect of creating fresh ones. We therefore have no plans for any amendments to the concessionary scheme.
