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 'Diversity of BBC News external recruitment 2017'.

I do not believe my request has been answered. I asked for external hires for World Service and Monitoring not to be included in the information I requested. Yet the BBC's response appears to be for all of 124 BBC News external hires who disclosed their ethnicity and disability.

It hardly seems credible that there have been no external hires for World Service or Monitoring following the extensive recruitment thanks to the £85 million government funding boost. If there have been no external hires in World Service or Monitoring please state that otherwise to be clear what I asked -

how many of the 124 external recruits by BBC News (Freedom of Information Request -
RFI20171571/IR2018002)
- are BAME / white majority / white other,
- declared a disability.
PLEASE DISCOUNT FROM YOUR RESPONSE ANY OF THE 124 WHO WERE RECRUITED FOR THE WORLD SERVICE OR MONITORING.
