PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
PENSIONERS' TELEVISION LICENCES (13 January 1993)

Motion Details

That this House recognises the valuable contribution made to the well being of the United Kingdom over many years by senior citizens; furthermore notes that many of Britain's pensioners will find the television licences priced at ú82.88 from April an expensive price to pay; and therefore calls upon the Government to exempt pensioners form the television licence fee with effect from 1st April.
