HC Deb 16 March 1971 vol 813 c286W
Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action he is taking to help sick and elderly people who will have difficulty in meeting the proposed increased rates of television licence duty.

Mr. Dean

None for this specific purpose. The Government will take all relevant increases in prices and charges into account in its review of pensions and other cash benefits later this year.
