Let’s totally discourage work… Free TV licences for benefits claimants under Labour plans Culture Secretary considering proposal as part of sweeping BBC reforms Benefit claimants could receive free television licences under sweeping BBC reforms being considered by Lisa Nandy, the Culture Secretary. A government review of the BBC’s Royal Charter, published on Tuesday, said that more than half of poorer households did not keep up with their payments of the licence fee, which costs £174.50 a year. The report also noted that countries such as Germany already offered free licences or discounts to those on benefits and UK officials would look at “further targeted interventions, such as new concessions or payment schedules”.
