Get rid of the TV license requirement

Background

I want Parliament to scrap the TV licence as it’s outdated, unfair, and forces people to pay for the BBC even if they don’t use it. In today’s world of streaming and choice, funding should be voluntary, not a compulsory tax on households.

Additional details

The TV licence no longer reflects how people consume media. Most households use multiple streaming platforms and on-demand services, making a mandatory fee for one broadcaster outdated. Parliament should replace the licence with a modern funding model that allows viewers to choose what they pay for, ensuring fairness, transparency, and alignment with today’s digital media landscape.
