The complainant has requested information about particular BBC teams that had responded to a staff survey in 2012. The BBC refused to disclose the information and cited the FOIA exemptions under sections 21 (information reasonably accessible to the requester by other means) and 40(2) of the FOIA (third person personal data) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The BBC correctly applied the exemption under section 21 to part of the request. The BBC correctly applied the exemption under section 40(2) to the remainder of the information as it is the personal data of third persons. The public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further steps.
FOI 21: Not upheld FOI 40: Not upheld
