Brexit Debate

The request was refused by British Broadcasting Corporation.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

I am writing to ask for any records that you may hold about a previously planned televised debate on the subject of 'Brexit' in December 2018. I understand that you have refused a previous request on the grounds that these records are "held for the purposes of ‘journalism, art or literature'". I would argue that this is not the case; a TV political debate cannot be placed into any of the three aforementioned categories and as such I would politely request that the records be provided.

For purposes of these requests, the term “record” and "records" shall mean: 


(1) any written, printed, or typed material of any kind, including without limitation all correspondence, memoranda, notes, messages, letters, cards, facsimiles, papers, forms, messages, diaries, schedules, calendars, chronological data, minutes, books, reports, charts, lists, ledgers, printed matter, prospectuses, statements, statistics, surveys, agreements, transcripts, magazine or newspaper articles, or press releases; 


(2) any electronically, magnetically, or mechanically stored material of any kind, including without limitation all electronic mail or e-mail;
(3) any graphic materials and data compilations from which information can be obtained; and
(4) any materials using other means of preserving thought or expression.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Ward
