asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, further to his holding reply of 26 January, Official Report, column 86, when he expects to give a substantive reply to the question from the hon. Member for Walsall, North on the number of television sets at his official residence; and who is responsible for paying the licence fee.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 4 February 1987 at column 671.
