BBC
The complainant has requested the number of complaints the BBC received about the daily broadcast of Scotland’s First Minister’s COVID-19 briefings. The BBC responded to the complainant saying that the requested information was covered by the derogation and hence excluded from the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that this information was held by the BBC for the purposes of journalism, art or literature and so was not covered by the FOIA. She therefore upholds the BBC’s position and requires no remedial steps to be taken in this case.FOI 1: Complaint not upheld
Decision notice: IC-90030
