answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/07/2020 answer text <p>The government meets with the BBC on regular occasions to discuss a wide range of issues, including the over 75 concession. The Government has consistently made clear its disappointment 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.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The BBC remains responsible for the administration of the concession and it will be responsible for setting out what those affected will need to do. It must look urgently at how it can use its substantial licence fee income to support older people and deliver for UK audiences of all ages.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale grouped question UIN 74779 question first answered 28/07/2020 08:28:19 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale
