answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2020 answer text <p>No estimate was made of the potential cost of imprisoning people aged over 75 for not holding a valid TV licence by the Ministry of Justice. The lead department on TV licencing is the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DDCMS). The BBC is responsible for the over 75s TV licence fee concession. A person cannot receive a custodial sentence for TV licence evasion but can be committed to prison for wilfully refusing to pay the fine. Imprisonment is only pursued as a matter of last resort.</p><p> </p><p>The Ministry of Justice reviewed prosecution data between 1992 and 1999 for TV licence fee evasion, prior to the introduction of the concession, and established that there were no prosecutions of defendants over the age of 75 during this period.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 09/09/2020 09:59:02 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
