BBC (Trustee Election and Licence Fee) Bill [HL]

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill proposes changes to how the BBC is run, specifically who gets to elect the trustees (the people who oversee the BBC) and possibly how the licence fee (the £159 annual charge for watching BBC) is managed. It's about giving people more say in BBC leadership and potentially changing how the corporation is funded.

Presented by Lord Pearson of Rannoch.
