The House of Lords Committee visited this subject back in 2022. lordslibrary.parliament.uk 

Back then they examined reforming the licence fee as well as alternatives, which appears to be covered in committees.parliament.uk .

Worth noting that a universal household levy is one of the alternatives which they gave a favourable opinion on.

A universal household levy could offer a viable alternative to the licence fee. It would need to be means-tested to make it fairer than the current model. Linking the fee to council tax offers one route to achieving this via an existing system. This could also reduce collection costs.
