Wording and Approval of TV Licensing Letters

The request was successful.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

I am making this request for information under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

I am aware that TV Licensing, acting on behalf of the BBC as Licensing Authority, sends regular information/warning letters to unlicensed properties in an effort to "educate" the occupier about TV licensing requirements.

Please send me any BBC/TV Licensing produced documents relating to the structure, format, wording and approval process for these letters.

Who precisely has the final say on whether or not a letter is acceptable to distribute to unlicensed properties?

I look forward to a timely and concise response, in accordance with the spirit of the Act.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Jones
