The UK Labour government won’t make TV licences free for all pensioners, keeping the current system.
The UK Labour government has declined to make TV licences free for all state pensioners, stating no such change will occur during the current licence charter (2017–2027).
While free licences are currently available only for over-75s receiving Pension Credit, the government has extended the Simple Payment Plan to help financially struggling households split payments into smaller instalments.
The Department for Culture, Media & Sport emphasized its broader support for pensioners, including the Triple Lock, and noted that the petition calling for universal free licences has drawn over 12,200 signatures.
