Update on TV licences for over 75s expected after October

Thu, 20 Jun 2019

Police and Reform Minister Chris Thomas says October will be the vital time for an update on negotiations with the BBC about the licence fee for over 75s on the island.

He says discussions have yet to take place with the organisation.

But he has been working with civil servants, preparing the ground for talks with the Department of Media, Sport and Culture in the UK and the BBC itself.
