Summary: The complainant requested the number of staff and the costs involved in sending BBC Scotland staff to London to cover the General Election between certain dates. He also requested the number of staff and the projected costs involved in sending BBC Scotland staff to the World Cup in South Africa. The BBC stated that the requested information fell outside the scope of the Act because it is information held for the purposes of journalism, art or literature. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the requested information is genuinely held for the purposes of journalism. Therefore the BBC is not obliged to comply with Parts I to V of the Act.
