<p>The government is committed to building a digitally inclusive society, and believes
that television should be accessible for all UK audiences. The BBC provides subtitling
on 100% of all of its programming (excluding BBC Parliament and BBC Scotland), as
well as signing 5% of its content.</p><p><strong><br></strong>Currently, under the
Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004, TV Licence concessions are
available to people who are registered blind or severely sight impaired, and people
who live in qualifying residential care and are disabled or over 60 years old. We
are not considering making changes to the current concessions regime at this time.
The government has committed to review the TV Licence model ahead of the next Charter
Review, which is set to be completed by 2027.</p>
