BBC

In three requests the complainant has requested information associated with the 1995 BBC Panorama interview with Diana, The Princess of Wales. The BBC refused to comply with the requests as it considered that the requested information was held for the purposes of journalism and was therefore derogated information and outside the scope of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: At the time of the requests, the information the complainant has requested was derogated and did not fall within the scope of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the BBC to take any remedial steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2021/0139 dismissed.
