HC Deb 22 January 2001 vol 361 c446W
22. Mr. Linton

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many homes in the Battersea constituency will benefit from the introduction of free TV licences for over 75s. [144801]

Mr. Chris Smith

TV Licensing, which administers this concession for the BBC as Licensing Authority, is not able to provide geographical breakdowns of the number of free licences issued. However, estimates of the over-75 population based on the 1991 Census indicate that there were approximately 4,900 people aged 75 or over in the Battersea constituency.
