Paper vs. Paperless TV Licences
Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,
I am making this request for information under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Please provide the following information held by the BBC since 1st January 2016:
1. The number paperless (e.g. electronic) TV licences issued. Please provide this as an annual breakdown.
2. The number of TV Licensing letters sent to holders of paperless TV licences. Please provide this as an annual breakdown.
3. A copy of the letter sent to new paperless TV licence holders to inform them that a paperless TV licence has been set up.
4. The number of paper (e.g. physical) TV licences issued. Please provide this as an annual breakdown.
5. The number of TV Licensing letters sent to holders of paper TV licences. Please provide this as an annual breakdown.
As it may assist your processing of my request, I volunteer that I am seeking to establish if TV Licensing does actually "use less paper and have more money for programmes" like it claimed it did when the paperless TV licence was first launched.
In accordance with section 11 of the Act, I require your response to be delivered in electronic format to the return email address associated with this request.
I look forward to your timely and concise response, in accordance with the requirements of the Act.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Jones
