No consultation plans for over 75s TV licence funding

Minister says Government isn't seeking public feedback

There are no definite plans to consult the public on TV licence fees for over 75s.

This was confirmed in the House of Keys this morning by Policy and Reform Minister, Chris Thomas.

He was replying to a question from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK, Jason Moorhouse.

However, Mr Thomas says the BBC has launched a consultation on how the licence fees for over 75s are paid for at the end of the current arrangements in June 2020.
