HC Deb 17 November 1964 vol 702 c25W
31. Mr. Coleman

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will authorise a rebate of their television licence fee to be made to old-age pensioners where they have had to pay a special fee to television relay rental companies in places with unsatisfactory local reception.

Mr. Benn

Any method of making concessions to listeners and viewers present immense practical problems and I cannot hold out any hope of meeting the objective my hon. Friend has in mind; but I will gladly look at it.
