Why this petition matters
Started by Mary Tarn
From June, senior citizens in the UK could be cut off from the world if forced to pay £157.50 to watch television.
We ask Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to work with the BBC to delay the introduction of licence fee for over-75s in order to ensure that those most at risk from the coronovirus outbreak are still able to access accurate information on the pandemic from their television if they are isolating.
