BBC Licence Fee (Civil Penalty) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill changes the law so people who don't pay their BBC television licence fee can be fined directly by the BBC, rather than being taken to court and potentially facing criminal charges. It's designed to be a simpler and quicker way to collect the licence fee.

Presented by Mr Christopher Chope.
