This question was answered on 14th July 2015
An independent review of the sanctions regime for non-payment of the television licence has been led by David Perry QC on behalf of the Government. The Review has now concluded and the Report will be published in due course. In accordance with section 77(3) of the Deregulation Act 2015, I will lay a report setting out my response to the Review within 3 months of its completion.
