BBC (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50461673 (29 January 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested a list of properties in Birmingham which have been identified as not requiring a television licence for the period 1995 onwards. The BBC explained that it only held information falling within the scope of this request for the period of mid-1998 onwards and in any event considered the information that it did not hold to be exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 40(2) of FOIA, the personal data exemption. During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation the BBC also argued that the requested information was exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 43(2), the commercial interests exemption. The Commissioner has concluded that the requested information held by the BBC is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 40(2) of FOIA.
