Dear Elliott Riley,
Freedom of Information Request - RFI20200999
Thank you for your request to the BBC of 16 July 2020 seeking the following information
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’):
Is Andrew Neil having such a warm relationship with Rupert Murdoch and News Corp a
conflict of interest, with them being so heavily tied to Conservative party?
Please be advised that the Freedom of Information Act gives a general right of access to all
types of recorded information held by public authorities. As this is not a request for recorded
information, and we are not required to create new information to respond to a request, or
give a judgement or opinion that is not already recorded, we cannot provide the information
in your request.

us at the address above, explaining what you would like us to review and including your
