BBC Licence Fee Non-Payment (Decriminalisation for Over-75s) Bill
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill would stop over75s from being prosecuted (taken to court) and potentially given a criminal record for not paying their BBC licence fee. Instead, they would face civil action like a fine, similar to other money disputes. It's intended to protect elderly people from serious criminal consequences.
Presented by Sir Christopher Chope.
