Decision Summary

• Case Ref: FS50193403
• Date: 10 November 2009
• Public Authority: BBC
• Summary: The complainant made a request for the names and costs of television pilot programmes which were not commissioned into a series. The BBC argued that the request was for information held for the purposes of art, journalism or literature and was therefore derogated. The Commissioner’s decision is that the BBC correctly determined that the information is held to a significant extent for these purposes and therefore the BBC is not obliged to comply with Parts I to V of the Act.
