§ Mr. A. Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that 136W since the introduction of the television licence duty in 1957 it has yielded £67 million; and, in view of the fact that much of this has been collected from old-age pensioners and those on small and limited incomes, if he will introduce a method whereby these persons can be exempt from paying this form of taxation.
Mr. M. MacmillanThis duty was repealed with effect from 1st October, 1963, by the Finance Act, 1963.
