HC Deb 06 December 1960 vol 631 c128W
66. Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, wider his regulations, he will grant licences to enable such retirement pensioners as are approved by an appropriate welfare organisation to rent television receiving sets and aerials without payment by the pensioners of the statutory three months' advance rentals.

Mr. N. Macpherson

As my right hon. Friend informed the hon. Member in his letter of 19th October, he regrets that he is unable to grant exemptions from the requirements of the Order even in favour of pensioners.
