The political campaign to save Freeview is hotting up. 17 Labour MPs have signed an open letter to the Prime Minister expressing their concern that the Government seems to be preparing to scrap Freeview and force the whole UK population to pay for expensive broadband contracts in order to continue watching their TVs. The MPs have pointed out that such a switch off would disproportionally affect older and low income households and would have political implications for Labour.
If you have a Labour MP please email them urgently and ask them to support the open letter from Luke Akehurst MP and 16 others. If you receive a positive response please notify us at info@silvervoices.co.uk.
You can check who is your MP and get their contact details on the following link. When writing always give your full address so that they know you are one of their constituents.
