Rejected petition Watching Parliament live on TV, without the need for a TV licence
Rejected on
Allow for the watching of Parliament live without the need for a TV licence, as being a democratic country we should be allowed to observe our elected politicians without the need to pay a TV licence fee. This will give more people a greater insight into the workings of Parliament, including those who cannot afford a TV licence.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
It is possible to watch Parliament without a tv licence on
