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 'Search warrants'.

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:

Dear FOI Enquiries,

it appears from your answer that you are trying to protect the BBC
in collecting it's licence tax, if the public knew the truth about
detector vans and search warrants they would realise the scope of
the deceit and lies being paid for with licence fees.

I wonder if a search warrant has been granted for Noel Edmonds?

Yours sincerely,
Chug Freeman

Thank you for your email, repeated below.

I am happy to confirm for you that David Attfield works for the BBC. As
we explained in our letter to you of 5 February 2010, internal reviews
