Television Licensing

Volume 451: debated on Monday 6 November 2006

15. To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport when concessionary schemes for television licences are next expected to be reviewed. (99160)

The Government reviewed the concessionary arrangements as part of BBC Charter Review. The White Paper published in March this year proposed no changes to the existing range of concessions, because despite calls for concessions for many groups there was little consensus as to the criteria according to which they should be allocated. We have no plans for any further reviews of the concessions.
