§ Mr. Freemanasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if Her Majesty's Government will extend the provisions for rebates for television licences to permit refunds for parts of the year for which a fee has been paid but the television disposed of.
§ Mr. HurdWe are considering whether pro rata refunds of television licence fees may be granted to people who will be deprived of all television services as a result of the withdrawal of the old 405-line television service; but we have no plans to extend further the range of circumstances in which refunds may be given.
