HC Deb 21 March 1995 vol 257 c110W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will consider granting concessionary TV licences to(a) residents of Bradely village, Stoke on Trent, over pension age and (b) residents under pension age; and if he will make a statement. [15131]

Mr. Dorrell

Under section 180 of the Broadcasting Act 1990, administration of the television licensing system, including determining eligibility for concessionary licences, passed to the BBC with effect from 1 April 1991. I have no power to intervene in respect of entitlement to the concession in individual cases.
