HC Deb 16 December 1982 vol 34 c204W
37. Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has any proposals to extend the present arrangements concerning concessionary television licences held in warden-controlled accommodation.

Mr. Raison

We have no plans to extend the range of sheltered housing schemes which qualify for the old persons' home television licence.

39. Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further consideration he has given to the possibility of allowing concessionary television licences for severely disabled people living in part III accommodation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Raison

The feasibility of a concession to physically and mentally handicapped persons living in local authority residential accommodation is still under review; we hope to be able to announce our decision shortly.
