FREE TV LICENCES FOR ALL PENSIONERS AGED 70 AND OVER

Motion Text

That this House would welcome free television licences for pensioners aged 70 years and over reducing the current age band of 75 years; notes that figures show that providing free television licences for everyone aged 70 years or over would cost an estimated ú529 million a year, excluding administrative costs; and calls upon the Government to implement this change as soon as possible.
