The complainant requested information from the BBC about editorial decisions involving Julian Assange. The BBC had yet to respond at the date of this notice. The Commissioner finds that as the BBC failed to respond to the request, it breached section 10(1) of FOIA. However he is also satisfied that this information, if held at all, would be held by the BBC for the purposes of journalism, art or literature and so would not be covered by FOIA. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken.

FOI 3: Complaint not upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld
