Rejected petition TV Licences - give Students a discount

Students in Halls of Residence have to pay the full £145.50 for a TV Licence and can only get a refund if they have a full 3 months left when they leave for the summer. How can this be fair when grand mansions with multiple rooms/TVs pay the same?

More details

Our young people are being exploited at every turn.
Give Students at least a 50% discount, they are already burdened with huge debt and financial stress at a stage when they are starting out in their independent lives.
