John Sweeny

The request was refused by British Broadcasting Corporation.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

I have recently seen a video which purports to show John Sweeney (of BBC Panorama etc.) drinking alcohol on expenses.

He says: "Here I am on expenses, in a boozer"..... "I think we should have one more bottle of wine."
The URL is https://youtu.be/58rEqvzh0m4

REQUEST.
I want all food and drink expenses data relating to Sweeney and Panorama for the last 5 years, and state what was paid by you and what was not. This should include all receipts, card payment data etc. so we can get a full picture of the spending.

Provide current and recent BBC policy on food and drink expenses for Sweeney and Panorama.

Yours faithfully,
Paul Thomson
