HC Deb 19 June 1984 vol 62 c119W
Mr. Holt

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, before announcing his proposals for the future television licence fee, he will review the working of section 137 of the Local Government Act 1972 with regard to the payment of television licence fees by local authorities on behalf of individuals.

Mr. Hurd

It is not for my right hon. and learned Friend to review the use by local authorities of a discretionary power.
