Written Question

Television Licences: Non-payment

Wednesday 19th December 2018

Asked by: Lord Borwick (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Keen of Elie on 3 December (HL11702), how many individuals were (1) cautioned, (2) charged, and (3) convicted by the TV Licensing Organisation as a result of non-payment of the BBC licence fee in each of the last three years.

Answered by Lord Ashton of Hyde

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport does not hold this information. Issues relating to non-payment of the licence fee are a matter for the BBC as a body independent from the government.
