英国工党政府不会让所有养老金领取者免费获得电视执照, The UK Labour government won’t make TV licences free for all pensioners, keeping the current system.

联合王国劳工政府拒绝向所有国家养恤金领取者发放免费电视许可证,称在目前的执照章程(2017-2027年)期间不会发生任何此类变化。 The UK Labour government has declined to make TV licences free for all state pensioners, stating no such change will occur during the current licence charter (2017–2027). 虽然目前只有超过75名领取养恤金信贷的人可以获得免费许可证,但政府已扩大了简单付款计划的范围,以帮助经济困难的家庭将分期付款分成较小的分期付款。 While free licences are currently available only for over-75s receiving Pension Credit, the government has extended the Simple Payment Plan to help financially struggling households split payments into smaller instalments. 文化、媒体和体育部强调对养老金领取者给予更广泛的支持,包括 " 三锁 " ,并指出,要求普遍免费许可证的请愿书已经吸引了12 200多人签名。 The Department for Culture, Media & Sport emphasized its broader support for pensioners, including the Triple Lock, and noted that the petition calling for universal free licences has drawn over 12,200 signatures.
