Decision Summary
- Case Ref: FS50114582
- Date: 14/03/2007
- Public Authority: BBC
- Summary: The complainant requested access to the transcripts, editorial or presenter interview notes and all other documents that were used in preparation for a BBC interview that was broadcast on 19 January 2006. The BBC refused to disclose the requested information on the basis that it was not a public authority in relation to the complainant�s request because the information was held for the purpose of journalism, art or literature within the derogation set out in Schedule 1 of the Act (�Schedule 1�). After a careful evaluation of the nature of the request, the submissions of the parties, and the relevant provisions of the Act, the Commissioner�s decision is that the BBC has correctly relied upon the Schedule 1 derogation. Therefore by virtue of section 7(1) of the Act, the requested information is excluded from Parts I to V of the Act. The Commissioner also finds that the BBC as a public authority did not breach section 10 of the Act.
