Summary: The complainant requested how much the BBC paid in rent to Newham council during the 2012 Olympics. The BBC explained 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 inside FOIA. He therefore upholds the BBC-™s position and requires no remedial steps to be taken in this case.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld
