	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2018 answer text The government considered licence fee funding during BBC Charter Review in 2015. While no funding model meets all the criteria of an ideal system, the current model provides the BBC with a sustainable core income paid by all households that watch or receive television. This model has wider support than any alternative: 60% of Charter Review consultation responses indicated that no change was needed to the current licence fee model, and only 3% favoured full subscription funding. As a result, we have committed to maintain the licence fee funding model for the BBC for the duration of the new 11 year Charter period. The BBC is independent of government. The BBC Board is therefore responsible for the appropriate use of licence fee revenue, and it is for licence fee payers to determine whether the BBC is value for money. answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde grouped question UIN HL10287 HL10291 question first answered 19/09/2018 09:46:43 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
