A proposal to end the criminal offence of failing to buy a TV licence is being considered for inclusion in a bill before Parliament.

UK's absurd TV license law change plan in motion _73643333_019368452-1

It comes after Tory MP Andrew Bridgen's suggestion to make non-payment a civil matter gained the support of 143 MPs.

Ministers had said they wanted to defer a decision until BBC charter renewal talks in 2016 - but they could seek to gain the power to change the law now.

The BBC has said it fears a change may lead to more people failing to pay.

About 155,000 people were convicted of non-payment of the TV licence in 2012 and 48 went to prison for not paying subsequent fines.

One in 10 cases before magistrates is said to relate to not paying the licence fee.

Mr Bridgen, the MP for North West Leicestershire, has said he is concerned at the number of people who are brought into the criminal justice system "for such a minor offence".
