Channel Four Television Corporation
The complainant has requested all documents held by Channel Four Television Corporation (Channel 4) relating to any decisions regarding the implementation of Channel 4's Supplier Code of Conduct, its policy on Viewer Trust, bullying; or the 'Speak Up' process in relation to a particular organisation within a specified timeframe. Channel 4 cited section 41(1) and section 40(2) as its reasons for withholding some of the requested information. It also cited section 40(5A) to neither confirm nor deny whether some of the requested information is held. The Commissioner’s decision is that Channel 4 has correctly cited section 41(1) and section 40(2) to the withheld information. He has also decided that Channel 4 appropriately cited section 40(5A) to neither confirm nor deny whether it held certain information. However, Channel 4 breached section 10(1) FOIA by providing a small amount of information outside the legislative time frame and section 17(7)(b) by not providing details of the complainant’s right to complain to the Commissioner when it provided its refusal notice. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further steps.
