Summary: The complainant requested under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) the amount spent by the BBC on a particular piece of journalistic research and the date that the research was commissioned. 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. However, it agreed to volunteer the date to the complainant outside the Act. For the remainder, 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 in relation to it.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld
