The Government is committed to a thorough review of how the licence fee is enforced. David Perry QC is leading an open, independent, and evidence-based review which is due to report to me at the end of June 2015. My Right Hon. Friend the Secretary of State will then need to consider the recommendations and how these will feed into the Charter Review process.
