asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what response he has made to the letter from the social services committee of Bradford metropolitan council, dated 26 April, concerning the conditions of eligibility for concessionary television licences; and if he will make a statement.

Since television licensing matters are for the Home Office the letter from the director of social services of Bradford Metropolitan Council to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services has been passed to me and I shall reply to it shortly.
