HC Deb 16 April 1975 vol 890 c123W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will instruct the National Television Licence Records Office to grant a refund in respect of the unexpired portion of any broadcast receiving licence where such licence is held by a person who is emigrating from the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement of his general policy so far as applications for refunds are concerned.

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.
