Laurence Robertson – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Laurence Robertson on 2015-10-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will introduce a television licence scheme based on days rather than months.

Mr Edward Vaizey

The way in which the BBC is funded, and how the licence fee works -including potential simpler systems of payment -is an important aspect of the current debate around Charter Review. There has been a range of opinions expressed, not least as part of the substantial consultation response,and I will be considering these through the Charter Review process.
