Temporarily suspend the costs of the TV licence
Ask that there is a temporarily suspension on all payments who currently have a TV licence in place for those who are financially affected by the corona virus this includes the self employed
My husband like many is self employed and I know that there is a announcement today but whatever this involves people are still going to be struggling greatly financially and I feel if those who currently have a TV license in place like myself I pay every month it will help ease the financial burden a little over 3 months
