HC Deb 12 December 1974 vol 883 c217W
47. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will authorise the repayment of the unused portion of a televison licence on the death of the holder.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

No. The grounds on which refunds may be given must be limited if the licensing system is not to become unmanageable.
