Summary: The complainant made twelve requests to the BBC for information it holds relating to events at the Porton Down military research base. The BBC stated that the requests are for information that falls outside the scope of the Act because it is held for the purposes of journalism, art or literature. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the BBC correctly determined that the information is held to a significant extent for these purposes and is therefore covered by the -˜derogation-™. Therefore, the BBC is not obliged to comply with Parts I to V of the Act. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2010/0111 struck out.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld
