The complainant has requested information relating to BBC’s Tigrinya service. The BBC refused to provide the requested information at question one citing the exemption under section 40(2) of the FOIA (third party personal data) as its basis for doing so. The BBC applied the derogation to question four of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the BBC has correctly applied section 40(2) of FOIA to the withheld information at question one and correctly applied the derogation to question four. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps as a result of this decision notice. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
