Summary: The complainant has requested information about Disability Equality Training undertaken by members of staff at the BBC. The BBC considered the request to be vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that only part of the request is covered by the FOIA as some of the information relates to the BBC-™s activities in journalism, art or literature and is therefore not covered by the FOIA. For the part of the request within the scope of the FOIA, the Commissioner considers the BBC has correctly applied section 14(1) to refuse the request.
