Background

Do not extend the TV licence requirement to households that only use subscription or pay‑per‑view services. Stop any Government proposal or white paper that would make people pay a TV licence when they do not watch live broadcast TV or BBC iPlayer.

Additional details

The TV licence is £180 and reports suggest the Government may consider extending it to households that only use subscription or pay‑per‑view services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and NOW TV. Many people do not watch BBC channels or iPlayer and already pay for the content they choose. It would be unfair to force them to pay for a service they do not use. The Government should rule out any plan to extend the TV licence to subscription‑only households.
