Peter Jones left an annotation (21 July 2011)
On this occasion, the BBC has graciously decided to provide the information requested, despite it being exempt (in their eyes only).
As John Booth rightly says the "journalism, art and literature" exemption the BBC trots out ad nauseum is absolute bullcrap. It's their standard response, despite the merits or validity of the question posed, when they want to wriggle out of potential embarassing disclosure.
The BBC frequently abuse the legislation in this respect.
