§ Janet Anderson
No. Statutory responsibility for the administration and enforcement of the television licensing system rests with the BBC. TV Licensing carries out the day-to-day administration and enforcement as agent for the corporation. It is for the BBC, as licensing authority, to keep under review the guidelines under which TV Licensing operates.
