Pensioners: Poverty and Television
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what information her Department holds on the number of pensioners who (a) are in poverty and (b) rely on free terrestrial television to watch TV.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The department does not currently hold data that combines TV distribution method, age and poverty.
DCMS is currently undertaking a project to evaluate the future distribution of television over the next decade. This project will continue to consider the impact of any decision on potentially vulnerable groups.
