HC Deb 21 January 1980 vol 977 c14W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the television licence system in order to establish a smaller annual fee for all televisions in use other than one licence covering any number of television sets in a particular dwelling or building; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Whitelaw

I have no plans to change the present television licensing arrangements.
