Licenced

So far, so good. The BBC's move to end 'free' tv licences for the over 75s seems to be progressing. 700,000 have been granted the 'free' concession because they are on Pension Credit - we don't know how many are claiming that for the first time. 2,340,000 have paid for a licence. The BBC estimated that last financial year, there were 4,690,000 licences for over 75s in force. Just over 64% have so far come willingly.
