FOI Requests

As a public sector organisation, the Freedom of Information act requires the BBC to provide answers to reasonable questions from members of the public.

The BBC's FOI archive concerning TV Licensing is available here. This archive was quite extensive, however nearly 150 responses were deleted in 2008 and so future documents will be archived here.

If you are aware of any additional FOI responses from the BBC regarding TV Licensing, please let us know and we will add them to this page.
