The Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries will give a statement on the BBC to MPs this afternoon (Monday, January 17).
It comes after Ms Dorries tweeted over the weekend that the next announcement about the BBC licence fee will be the last.
She posted: “This licence fee announcement will be the last. The days of the elderly being threatened with prison sentences and bailiffs knocking on doors are over. Time now to discuss and debate new ways of funding, supporting and selling great British content.”
