HC Deb 16 February 1984 vol 54 c286W
42. Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he now expects to implement the concessionary television licence scheme for disabled persons living in homes for physically and mentally handicapped, as previously announced in February 1983; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Yeo

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is now able to announce the extension of the concessionary television licence scheme to physically and mentally handicapped people living in residential accommodation.

Mr. Hurd

We hope to complete our consideration of other matters affecting the regulations within a few weeks, and we shall then introduce as quickly as we can the concessionary licence for physically disabled and mentally disordered people in residential homes and some sheltered housing schemes.
