HC Deb 05 March 2003 vol 400 c1126W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many people aged 75 or above receive free television licences in the Tooting constituency. [101052]

Dr. Howells

TV Licensing, who administer the free licence scheme as agents for the BBC, are not able to provide geographical breakdowns of the number of free licences issued. However, estimates based on the 1991 Census indicate that there were approximately 5,800 people aged 75 or over living in the Tooting constituency.
