The BBC Chairman, Sir David Clementi has claimed that 40 per cent of over-75s pay for a subscription service so they are ‘quite used to monthly payments for television’.

The BBC chief claimed that viewers who are willing to pay for Netflix will have no objection to paying the BBC’s licence fee.

The corporation is preparing to charge millions of over-75s for using its services, BBC executives told MPs that they expect the vast majority of the elderly population will be happy to meet the £157.50 cost.

The taxpayer-funded organisation admitted that 90-year-olds could end up being hauled before a magistrates’ court if they do not pay it.

Sir David Clementi, the BBC chairman, said: “The majority of people over-75 who are by far the largest users of the BBC in terms of percentage, want to stay within the law and value the BBC.

“A whole raft of them – we think 40 per cent – use subscription services and are quite used to monthly payments for television. Why would they not pay for the BBC?”
