Dear Mr Cawthorne and Mr Gidley,
Further to the ICO’s Decision Notice dated 18 August 2021 in relation to
IC-90942-K0X5, I attach an excel spreadsheet of the data requested by Mr
Gidley in his FOI request to the BBC (RFI20210148).
In his initial FOI request to the BBC, Mr Gidley had requested the data in
excel format.
The BBC also attaches the pdf version of the data set already disclosed to
Mr Gidley on 16 February 2021.
I would appreciate if the ICO could confirm receipt of this email.
Sincerely,

I have appealed the refusal to provide a machine readable format to the ICO.
They have now reviewed it and asked the BBC to provide the data in such a format, or provide other grounds for why they will not.
