    Labour MP Hugh Gaffney says his dad is turning 90 in a few weeks time.

    "The TV is his main source of company," he says. He asks Mrs May "as your last act as prime minister to return the TV licence to the pensioners".

    The prime minister says "many people will ask how the BBC can raise its salary bill at the same time as taking the action it has on TV licences."

    "The BBC needs to think again," she adds.

    The BBC has announced it will end free TV licences for up to 3.7m pensioners.

    Under the new rules, only low-income households where one person receives the pension credit benefit will still be eligible for a free licence.
