Gill, if the scope of the licence fee was expanded to capture any household with a device that can receive the BBC, what kind of impact could that make to BBC revenues?

2 Jun 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140)

You might not have the answer to this. I get the impression from the public that they know that politicians set the TV licence, but I do not think a lot of people know that they do the BBC charter renewal. Are there any figures on what the perception is among the public?

2 Jun 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 140)

You have already touched on some of this, but what other challenges could you see arising from implementation and enforcement?

What other reforms could be made to the licence fee that might make a significant impact on the BBC’s revenues?

How can the charter be used to improve the balance of those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds? What opportunities do we have?

Can you imagine the BBC, or at least some part of its services, being funded by adverts or subscriptions?

That is really interesting. I also define myself as someone from a working-class background, rather than saying I am still working class. In terms of what might be able to happen, what do you think the BBC can do to support working-class people to enter the creative industries?

No.

To Pat first, the British Broadcasting Challenge has made a number of proposals for a new approach to funding. What is the difference between those proposals and the household levy that operates in some European countries?
