Written by charity and law practice Appeal, the letter urges the UK Government to pay better regard to low income and vulnerable people who are being prosecuted for the non-payment of the fee. CAP supports measures towards fair treatment of low income and vulnerable consumers, and looks forward to hearing the response from Nadine Dorries MP.
