CONCESSIONARY TV LICENCES AND OWNER OCCUPIED SHELTERED ACCOMMODATION

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.
