I am not really interested in discussing general policy of the BBC etc. regarding copyright at this point. I would kindly ask we discontinue pursuing that line of questions.
Instead, I would like to point out the specific files that relate to the Iraq Inquiry.[1] These are briefings that should be freely licensed in the interest of the general public. I do not believe we should be discouraged on how complex the process is. Regardless of how complex this may be, we should attempt to the best of our abilities and available resources.
This is why I suggested seeking MPs to highlight the interests of the general public and progress from there. I am under the impression that BBC etc facilitated the recordings and own the intellectual property.

BBC and commercial providers can be compelled on the basis of public interest
Can you provide a citation or case study to substantiate that claim?
