Rejected petition Do not charge pensioners already in receipt of a free TV license from June 2020.
From June 2020 all those pensioners currently in receipt of a free TV license will be asked to pay for their licence. This adds a huge burden to their monthly budget. It is unfair to expect them to find this money.
