Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like information about the number of people in the UK who
have been caught and prosecuted for not owning TV licences in the
year 2007.

I would also like to know what the success rate of those
prosecutions was.

Finally I would like to know what it costs the BBC annually to
enforce the TV licence.

Yours faithfully,
