Lisa Nandy is (re)introduce the idea of the mutualisation of the BBC.

Lke a building society, license fee payers would then have a more direct influence the BBC... there are many positive aspects to such a move but one difficult issue would be the enforceability of license fees.

Unless the state retains the power to prosecute non-payers (compromising mutual status?), the BBC would need to rely on privatised investigation & prosecution, which might be quite expensive & disruptive?
