ICO The complainant has requested the amount paid for the broadcasting rights to the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The BBC explained the information was covered by the derogation and excluded from the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that this information was held by the BBC genuinely for the purposes of ‘journalism, art or literature’ and did not fall inside the FOIA. He therefore upholds the BBC’s position and requires no remedial steps to be taken in this case.
