The Secretary of State has met with the Chairman of the BBC Board and the Director-General of the BBC and asked them to do more to help those affected by its decision.The Government is disappointed with the BBC's decision to restrict the over 75 licence fee concession to only those in receipt of pension credit.We recognise the value of free TV licences for over 75s and believe they should be funded by the BBC.
