Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,reference Look North Leeds.
Freedom of information request.
The BBC look North use two presenters to present the 6:30 weekday show.
Look North that covers Hull and Lincolnshire use 1.
The question ..
Each presenter you have for example Harry Gration , how many times have they presented the show between the 1st of January 2019 and August the 1st 2019?
My contention is Harry Gration is a contracted full time employee..who works part time duties.
In the 200 days approx how many times has Harry Gration done his job of presenting.
Have in mind he should work approximately 48 weeks a year for 5 days a week,,on average.
That's approx 240 on screen days potentially.
He seems to get plenty of time to golf,cricket,attend functions etc.
Is that part of his remit?
Let's focus on Harry Gration specifically in this foi request.
Hours,days,weeks worked?
Duties undertaken and time on screen presenting the news?
Is an allowance made for his age, health and personal circumstances to allow him reduced duties?
How is his time accounted for ?
I look forward to my reply .

Yours faithfully,
Robert Alex Crichton
