§ Mr. Marksasked the Minister of Post and Telecommunications if he will amend the Wireless Telegraphy Act to permit refunds of the unexpired portion of television licences when licencees who are pensioners give up their homes.
§ Mr. StonehouseNo. My general policy is not to give refunds on broadcast receiving licences, as the cost would be prohibitive; and it would be unfair to vary this policy in favour of special groups in the community while excluding other people whose cases could in particular instances be as good or better.
