CONCESSIONARY TV LICENCES AND OWNER OCCUPIED SHELTERED ACCOMMODATION

Early day motion 92, tabled 8 December 1998 by Bill O'Brien (Labour). Signed by 86 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 qualification criteria stipulates that the 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.

Signatures by party: Labour 59, Liberal Democrat 17, Labour/Co-operative 6, UUP 2, Conservative 1, UKUP 1.
