Means testing needed, says Colonel Wilson
Government's move to stop paying for TV licences for the over 75s, apart from those on income support, was "a silly decision".

Speaking on Sunday Opinion, Colonel Wilson says having a financial cut-off for the benefit doesn't work.
He says what's needed is some form of means testing.
