The complainant requested information on Covid-19 recovery rates. The British Broadcasting Corporation (‘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 the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any further steps.
