HC Deb 28 May 2004 vol 422 c13W
Helen Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many pensioners in Warrington North are receiving free television licences. [176412]

Malcolm Wicks

The information requested is not available in the format requested.

The number of households with at least one resident aged 75 or over in the Warrington North parliamentary constituency is 4,815. These households would therefore be eligible to receive a free TV licence.

Notes:

1. Number is rounded to the nearest 5.

2. Any residence found to have four or more occupants is not included in these figures as it is assumed to be a Residential Care or Nursing Home.

3. Parliamentary constituencies have been allocated using the relevant ONS postcode directory.
