We recognise the value of free TV licences for over 75s and believe they should be funded by the BBC.</p><p>The BBC also remains responsible for enforcing and administering the TV licence. The BBC must ensure that it supports those affected by its decision on the over 75s concession and we expect it to do so with the utmost sensitivity.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 06/09/2021 16:40:00 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale
