Title: Welsh speakers charged a premium - TV Licensing
Post by redant on Jan 16th, 2007 at 12:00pm
I live in South Wales so receive all communications in both Welsh and English. Recently received a leaflet from T V licencing re free T V licences for people over 75, English version gave contact number as 0845*** but contact number for Welsh is 0870***. I have contacted Welsh Language board who promote the use of the Welsh Language and asked why Welsh speakers are being charged three times as much for the same service. No reply as yet but will post comments when received.

Suggest you also try a complaint to the Commission for Racial Equality:

www.cre.gov.uk

And to your MP using www.writetothem.com

By the way how was the pricing of the 0845 and 0870 number described in the leaflets?

No description of cost for numbers whatsoever, only gives contact number as 0845 6036999 English and 0870 6011130 Welsh. Will take up with CRE and MP who is also member of Welsh Assembly so should support this issue. Thanks for your guidance NGM's ghost.

The database gives 0800 0850133 as an equivalent to the 0870 6011130 number.

But then why don't they publish that number on their website and in their information leaflets. ;)  ::)
