Summary: The complainant has requested information on the use of payment arrangements to personal service companies by BBC Look North. The BBC explained that the information was covered by the derogation and excluded from FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that this information was held by the BBC for the purposes of -˜journalism, art or literature-™ and did not fall inside FOIA. He therefore upholds the BBC-™s position. Section 10 of the FOIA provides that a public authority should respond to a request for information within 20 working days. The Commissioner has found a breach in this case because the public authority did not respond within 20 working days to the second question in the request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
