This isn't really about protectionism though. At least I don't think it is. It's more than it makes sense if the BBC, a public organisation, used the Met Office. It depends who else they get but if they tend up giving it to someone marginally cheaper based abroad then isn't that a net loss for country given that currently that money goes to the Met Office and the staff they employ.
