The complainant has requested information concerning the prize featured on the BBC Three competition show Hot Like Us. 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. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2012/0054 struck out.
