Television Licences
(asked on 17th December 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what proportion of households possessed a television licence in each of the last 20 years.
The table below sets out the percentage of licensable places that hold a TV licence. This is based on TV Licensing's evasion model which compares total licences in force to total licensable places but does not split between domestic households and other places such as businesses and student halls. Therefore it cannot be stated specifically what proportion of households had a licence.
