Birth, marriage & death certificates

The request was refused by British Broadcasting Corporation.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

In light of the recent Andrew Neil Sunday Politics Show where it was revealed that the BBC obtained Stephen Christopher Yaxley's birth certificate:

1.) How many birth, marriage and death (BMD) certificates has the BBC obtained or purchased?

2.) How much does the BBC pay for each BMD certificate?

3.) Please provide a list of all the names of the people whose certificates have been obtained or purchased.

4.) What justification was given for obtaining or purchasing each certificate?

Yours faithfully,

N. James

Computer says no.
I can sense their favourite "information is exempt as it is held for the purposes of journalism, art or literature" excuse being trotted out.
They use that get out more than half of the time.
