From a WATO transmission...
Lord Patten..

The Licence-payers are never consulted, it's not the Government's BBC, it's the viewers'.

"An awful idea" and "objectionable" (referring to BBC paying over 75's fees)

He called for "a serious public debate" about the future of the BBC, rather than negotiations "done in private".
