Open petition: Tv-licence holders to be able to demand refund

Created by James John Mennie
Closes on

We call on legislation to be introduced to enable tv license payers to be able to demand a 50% refund if the BBC is found to have breached its Charter and not provided an on-air public apology.

This apology should be issued within a period of 24 hours following the airing of a programme, article or comment which has been found to have breached its Charter.
