Barnet London Borough Council

On 18/1/05 the complainant requested information relating to the Council's housing allocation scheme. On 15/2/05 the Council replied stating that a fee would be payable for the requested information. On 24/2/05 the complainant wrote to the Council questioning the proposed fee and repeating their information request. The Council failed to reply to the letter but, following intervention by the Information Commissioner's Office, they provided some of the information on 22/7/05 and undertook to supply the remaining information without charge. However, the Council had not supplied any further information at the date of issuing the Decision Notice. The Commissioner's decision is that the request was not responded to in accordance with section 1(1) of the Act and the Decision Notice requires the Council to provide the complainants with the remaining information.
