Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Maxton (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 15 March 2012.


Freedom of Information Act 2000

Question
My Lords, given that the BBC is an entirely publicly funded body and a very important part of our democratic system, and that it quite rightly suggests that we should all be accountable publicly and openly, is it not right that all aspects of the BBC should now be covered by the Freedom of Information Act?
Answer

That is an interesting prospect, which I suspect Sir Alan Beith may well look into.
