HC Deb 03 November 1965 vol 718 cc186-7W
Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

asked the Postmaster-General if he will consider giving a rebate on television licences to deaf and dumb persons.

Mr. Joseph Slater

My right hon. Friend has considered with great sympathy the possibility of introducing concessions of one kind or another for various groups, including the deaf and dumb. But he has been forced to conclude that it would be impracticable to do so without creating serious anomalies.
