The British Minister of Culture states that the license fee for the BBC will be scrapped

According to Dorrie's statements, the license fee will be frozen until 2027.

What will replace the fee is unclear.

"The days when the country's elderly are threatened with imprisonment and have inspectors knocking on the door are over.

Now is the time to discuss and debate new ways to finance, support and sell fantastic British content ", writes Dorries on Twitter.

The BBC has not commented on the outcome.

A Daily Mail article that Dorries herself links to shows that the frozen license fee - which should be equivalent to just under SEK 2,000 a year - could lead to reduced revenues for the BBC in the order of SEK 25 billion in the years to come.

Previously, the license fee has been raised in line with inflation.

Nadine Dorries has previously made herself known for criticizing the BBC and has called it a "partisan left-wing organization", among other things.

The BBC is the world's oldest and largest public service company.
