Liz McInnes – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Liz McInnes on 2016-05-18.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether the Government’s proposal to ensure that those who watch BBC iPlayer services are subject to the requirement to pay the license fee will include those who use BBC iPlayer radio services.
Mr Edward Vaizey
The requirement to hold a TV licence will be extended to people streaming or downloading television programmes through on-demand services provided by the BBC (notably iPlayer) and will not include those who listen to radio services.
