BBC (Other): ICO 1 Oct 2015

ICO The complainant made a number of requests to the BBC for information about its coverage of the 2015 General Election. The BBC explained 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 and requires no remedial steps to be taken in this case.
