The thing is I would rather not go through each attachment one by one if
possible since this creates an unneeded complexity. An overarching
copyright statement would achieve to circumvent this. I cannot find a
single reason why we should not seek this.
Also "unless otherwise stated" is a very problematic statement as the
website itself provides that statement to all documents and attachments
without a copyright notice. Hence why contacting MPs can be an easy way out
for everyone.
BBC and commercial providers can be compelled on the basis of public
interest since the recordings are briefings of the people compiling the
reports. These document a record of the progress on the report over time.
It also provides witness accounts etc. They compliment the report well.

I haven't seen anyone say otherwise so I'm not sure what point you're
making here.
I was not aware the report itself had an
independent license. Why is
there a
discrepancy between the report's copyright
notice and that of the
website?
Because one applies to the report, the other to the website.
Are classified attachments also under the same
license?
The statement in the report (I'm looking at the executive summary) is:
This publication is licensed under the terms of the Open Government
Licence v3.0 except where otherwise stated.
so you're going to need to look at the individual attachments to
determine whether an exclusion is made.
How about interviews recorded by the BBC
etc (ie other content such as videos)?
AIUI, these are not part of the report.
Ideally, everything on the site should be freely
licensed so that in can
be copied to wikisource and commons (videos and media including
pdfs).
On what basis would you compel the BBC and commercial providers to
relinquish their rights?
