Make the BBC honour the agreement to provide a free TV licence for all over 75's

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

In 2015 the BBC agreed to fund free TV Licence's for the over 75's in return for other concessions including raising the licence fee in line with inflation and closing the I-Player loophole. They are now trying to back out of this and charge all over 75 year olds not in receipt of pension credit.
