I think it is totally wrong that people in care homes should have to pay for a licence individually. Hotels do not have one per room so why should care homes. I remember when my son went to uni each room was supposed to have a licence .He had taken his small tv from his bedroom with him and my husband told him if the authorities came to throw it out the window (he was on the 3rd floor) as a new set would be less than the fine.It is the only time I have ever heard him condone something wrong. Years ago an elderly relative lived in a sheltered housing complex and only paid about £25 for her tv.
