Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of British Broadcasting
Corporation's handling of my FOI request 'Costs for BBC/TVL for
licence fees'.

The answer given is not satisfactory. It is in the public interest
to know where and how their licence fee is being spent.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
