The complainant has requested information, including financial information, from the BBC about the documentary film -˜Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone.-™ The BBC responded that all the requested information was covered by the derogation and so was excluded from FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that, if held, the requested financial information is held by the BBC for the purposes of journalism, art or literature and so isn-™t covered by FOIA. He therefore upholds the BBC-™s position and it-™s not necessary for it to take any steps.
