To ensure free provision of entertainment to those restricted to their home during Covid 19 isolation.
The cable etc companies can play their part in facilitating compliance with “stay at home” calls.

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The provision of subscription television services is a matter for individual subscription providers, not the Government or Parliament.
