TV licence fee set to rise next month
THE cost of a television licence will increase by 2 per cent to £145.50 from 1 April, it was confirmed yesterday.
This year's rise from 142.50 for the colour licence is part of a six-year BBC funding settlement agreed in 2007. The rise, which is not being contested by the Tories also sees the black and white licence go from 48 to 49.
