Petition with 50,000 signatures calls to waive BBC licence fee for those over pension age.
An online petition with nearly 50,000 signatures is calling for the BBC TV licence fee to be abolished for individuals over the State Pension age.
Initiated by Michael Thompson, the petition aims to ease the financial burden of rising costs on pensioners.
If it reaches 100,000 signatures by May 26, 2025, it will be debated in Parliament.
The UK Government previously dismissed the idea, but Thompson argues that financial pressures necessitate reconsideration.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport notes that seniors aged 75 and above could already be eligible for a free TV licence under certain conditions.
