Dear FOI Enquiries, As a TV licence payer I demand that you give me the information The BBC has a responsibility to be clear and open in how the licence payers money is spent and I feel that flying people to Argentina for a show is an expense that should be transparent in your answer to costs You haven't even bothered to answer the question as to whether any members of their family went with them and you haven't bothered to answer as to why it was done in Argentina and not the UK Due to your real lack of information I am requesting an internal review to my questions and I want the answers to ALL of my questions put on this FOI site so that other licence payers can see your response Yours sincerely, Paul Swift.
