HC Deb 05 December 1969 vol 792 c396W
Mr. William Edwards

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he will take steps to make a proportionate reduction in the fee of licence holders who cannot receive one or more of the following services, namely, very high frequency reception in sound only, medium waveband sound reception, colour television, B.B.C. 2, and stereophonic reception, respectively.

Mr. Pentland

Users of colour sets are already required to pay a supplemental fee of £5. The other distinctions would not be practicable.
