I SEE in the Telegraph (July 6) that MP Gordon Prentice is on again about TV licence for pensioners in sheltered accommodation having to pay the full £89.50.

Why can't all pensioners have their licence dropped? Whether we live in sheltered homes or our own home we all get the same money.

I am a pensioner and live by myself like a lot more, but we have to pay so I think it is only right he should fight for us all not only one group.

M DUGDALE, Burnley.
