Television Licence Concessions For Hearing-Impaired People

EDM number 29 in 2010-12, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 25/05/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Broadcasting and Disability discrimination.

That this House notes that people with a visual impairment receive a concession of 50 per cent. of the television licence fee; is concerned that hearing-impaired people do not receive any similar concessions; believes it is equitable to offer hearing-impaired people a concession to the licence fee; and encourages the Government to create a concession to the licence fee for hearing-impaired people.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
