Do you agree with the TV licence changes for over-75s?I agree but rather than take away from every Pensioner including those who really need it, why not just take it away from those who are financially comfortable and do not need these benefits - tv license/ bus pass / heating allowance.ViewDate:

Do you agree with the TV licence changes for over-75s?Whatever we call it - Means testing maybe - but it would ensure that those who genuinely need these benefits do receive them. As it is we all lose out! I am all in favour of the BBC using advertising income and they should also have stricter budgeting guidelines.ViewDate:

Do you agree with the TV licence changes for over-75s?I agree totally with you but it s ridiculous that those extremely wealthy Pensioners should receive these benefits as a matter of course. I certainly am not wealthy and I was looking forward to my free tv license in a few years.ViewDate:

Do you agree with the TV licence changes for over-75s?My views are similar to the heating allowance awarded annually to all Pensioners. It should depend on your income and any Pensioner earning less than say £20K a year should receive heating allowance and TV License. Bus Passes too should be awarded using the same criteria. They say this would be difficult to administrate but, surely, on reaching the Pension age, we should be asked to apply for these grants and the onus should be ours to claim. I had to apply for my bus pass so why not any other benefits?ViewDate:

Should the State Pension be means tested?Maybe richer pensioners could be asked if they would like to volunteer not to receive their pension, but if they have paid NI contributions they are entitled to receive their pension. How do you define rich anyway. I am a pensioner and I manage ok with no debts and I am able to enjoy my retirement with holidays etc, but I do not regard myself as rich. Perhaps it should be those in the higher tax bracket but they probably have higher outgoings than I do with large properties so higher bills to pay. As for any money saved from such a scheme, it should go first and foremost to poorer pensioners with a view to helping younger people in need if there is any cash left to do that. The basic pension is £120 ish a week for some but it has now been increased to £150 ish each week. Those already on £120 remain at that level, which in my view is outrageous! All pensioners should receive this increased rate. If we perhaps capped the pension rate for all at a reasonable level, there would be money over to help younger members of the community.ViewDate:

Do you support a 'sugar tax' to help tackle obesity?More importantly I think the food manufacturers need to be taxed on the amount of sugar they include in their products. Having recently been diagnosed diabetic, I am astonished at the amount of sugar not just in cakes, etc but in milk, bread, juices, etc etc. I did say yes on this survey but I really believe the manufacturers should rectify this at source.ViewDate:

Should Britain agree to take more refugees?I say yes to GENUINE REFUGEES only. I am not in favour of allowing migrants in who just want a better life living off our Benefit system. If I wanted to live in another country I would need money, a skill and a job, and a home to go too. I would not be able to rely on the State of that country to give me these things foc.ViewDate:
