Motion Text

That this House notes the anomalies of the accommodation for residential care concessionary television licence scheme for people who live in sheltered housing complexes; recommends that the Government publish a timetable concerning their ongoing discussions with the BBC; and urges the Government fully to recognise the absurdity of people living in sheltered accommodation paying different licence fees if their accommodation does not have a common and exclusive boundary.
