Keep free tv license for 75 year olds
The government is to allow the BBC to scrap free tv licenses for people of 75 years and over in 2020 . Only the poorest ie those households where at least one person is on pension credit will qualify for free tv license.
People who just missed this by a borderline amount will not qualify .
The government have always up until know been responsible for the tv license fees , but have given that responsibility to the BBC . The BBC paid an external consultancy company who have suggested scrapping the free license for 75 year olds and over .
