HC Deb 18 July 1950 vol 477 c160W
Mr. A. Lewis

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will consult with the Minister of National Insurance, so as to arrange for old age pensioners to receive a free wireless receiving set licence for personal use, on production of their Pension Order Book.

Mr. Ness Edwards

After careful and sympathetic consideration, the Government is unable to agree to the issue of broadcast receiving licences free to old age pensioners.
