CONCESSIONARY TV LICENCES AND OWNER-OCCUPIED SHELTERED ACCOMMODATION

Early day motion 1568, tabled 16 July 1998 by Andy King (Labour). Signed by 107 members.

That this House believes that the current concessionary television licence scheme discriminates against owner-occupied sheltered accommodation; notes that point 'ii,c' of the qualifying criteria stipulates that accommodation must be provided or managed by a local authority, a housing association or a development corporation; and urges Her Majesty's Government to amend this criteria to include owner-occupied sheltered accommodation.
