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 'Procedure for reporting copyright infringements'.

In the original FOI request I specifically asked for YOUR, i.e. the BBC's, procedures. This was in the first line of the request: "Could you please send me details of your procedure for reporting copyright infringements." The response that I have received does not include any of the BBC's procedures.

The original request then went on to ask "Please include full details of how reports are made, how reports are processed and how reports are accessed". Again, this part of my request has not been answered. To re-iterate I want to know how reports about potential copyright infringements are made to the BBC, how the BBC processes those reports and how those reports are accessed.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/p...

Yours faithfully,

James McWilliam

Dear FOI Enquiries,

You should have responded to my request for an internal review by now. As you are probably well aware , responses must, by law, under all circumstances, be responded to within 20 working days. The response is long overdue.

Why is it taking so long? Are you busy falsifying the information?

Yours sincerely,

James McWilliam
