Dear Mr Brooke,

Thank you for your request to the BBC of 16 January 2021 under the Freedom
of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’) seeking the following information.

“1)      

(a) In relation to TV Licensing I understand there exists a document
titled ‘England & Wales Visiting Procedures’. Please provide me with the
latest copy of this document. 

(b) Please provide me with any legal advice the BBC has obtained relating
to the document – including in relation to FOI disclosure (Please provide
this regardless of whether it relates to the present copy of the document
or an earlier copy – in the event it relates to an earlier copy of the
document please also provide me with that copy of the document.).

If fulfilling (b) should prove prohibitively expensive, please focus on
providing me with legal advice relating to the most recent copies of the
document – noting the dates that are applicable.

If the document mentioned in (a) does not exist under that exact title but
a substantially similar document exists under another title, please
provide the substantially similar document.”

The BBC confirms that it does hold information of the type described in
these parts of your request. However, when a qualified exemption applies
to the information and the public interest test is engaged, section 10 of
the Act allows the time for a response to be longer than 20 working days.
A full response must be provided within such time as it reasonable in all
circumstances of the case.

We consider that the following exemptions apply to the information you
have requested:

o Section 31 – Law enforcement
o Section 40 – Personal data

We now need further time in which to consider the public interest in
disclosing the information. In your case we have not yet reached a
decision on where the balance of the public interest lies.

Appeal Rights

You may request an internal review of our decision to extend the time
period for handling your request, by contacting us at the address above.
If you are not satisfied with the internal review, you can appeal to the
Information Commissioner. The contact details are: Information
Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9
5AF, telephone 01625 545 700 or see [1]www.ico.org.uk

Yours sincerely
