<p>Under the Communications Act 2003 a fee for a television licence is payable to
the BBC. The BBC is responsible for the collection and enforcement of the licence
fee, not the Government. The Government is therefore not involved in TV Licensing
operations and therefore does not hold the data requested.</p><p>The BBC’s Annual
Report and Accounts for 2021/22 states that 4,000 black and white (monochrome) licences
were in force as of 31 March 2022. The report does not break down this figure on a
regional basis, so I recommend that you raise your query directly with the BBC if
you wish to request further information about black and white television licences.</p><p>TV
Licensing can be contacted by telephone on 0300 790 0368 or in writing at TV Licensing,
Darlington, DL98 1TL. Other methods of contacting TV Licensing are set out on its
website: <a href="https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/contact-us/index.app" target="_blank">https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/contact-us/index.app</a>.</p>
