Business question from Grant Shapps (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Will the Leader of the House consider a debate about TV licensing? A 54-year-old constituent of mine, Philomena Moran, was taken to court for not having a colour television licence, even though TV Licensing knew that she had only a black and white television. It transpires that the fact that she had an NTL signal coming into her property was deemed to mean that she was receiving a colour signal without a colour television. How is that possible?
