This next licence fee announcement “will be the last”
Nadine Dorries indicated she wanted to find a new funding model for the BBC after the current licence fee funding deal expires in 2027.“The days of the elderly being threatened with prison sentences and bailiffs knocking on doors are over.The licence fee is set by the Government, which announced in 2016 that it would rise in line with inflation for five years from April 1 2017.
The BBC has previously come under fire over the abolition of free TV licences for all over-75s, with a grace period on payment because of the Covid-19 pandemic having ended on July 31.A BBC source told the Sunday Times: “There are very good reasons for investing in what the BBC can do for the British public and the creative industries, and the UK around the world.
“Anything less than inflation would put unacceptable pressure on the BBC finances after years of cuts.”The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has also been contacted for comment.
