BBC Licence Fee Debate E-Petition

  • Tweet
Tuesday, 2 March, 2021
  • Speeches in Parliament

Yesterday I took part in a debate on revoking the TV licence. This is after a public petition gained over 100,000 signatures, so triggered a debate in Parliament. 

I have conducted a number of surveys on this issue and here are some of the results from the questions I asked you: 

Is the Licence Fee good value for money? 

15% of people said yes, with 78% of people saying no & 7% unsure. 

Should the TV Licence Fee be replaced with a subscription service instead? 

48% of people said yes, with 28% of people saying no, 17% unsure and other with 7% 

Should the BBC provide free TV Licences to those over the age of 75? 

87% of people said yes, 10% saying no and 3% unsure. 

Thank you for taking part.
