  • Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld

The complainant has requested information relating to a program on Radio 4 called ‘Thought for Today’. The BBC explained that 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 within the scope of FOIA. She therefore upholds the BBC’s position and requires no remedial steps to be taken in this case. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2017/0013 dismissed.
