HC Deb 10 April 2002 vol 383 c216W
Mr. Yeo

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will list the(a)number and (b)total cost of television licences paid for by her Department. [48336]

Mr. Ivan Lewis

In line with Government policy my Department, like others, has Crown immunity and is exempt from the need to purchase television licenses for televisions which are used for official use. All of the televisions which are in use on my headquarter buildings are for official use only.
