The TV licence fee is due to rise in line with inflation from next spring. This could add nearly £15 to the fee next year, taking it to £173.30. This comes as Rishi Sunak warned the BBC must be "realistic" over how much it expects people to pay for the licence fee as he welcomed cuts at the broadcaster, and Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said that 400,000 fewer people opted out of paying for the BBC’s services last year because “they didn’t think it was affordable, or they didn’t want those services anymore.” So should the licence fee be frozen to ensure people can pay for the service or is it unreasonable to expect it not to rise in line with inflation?
