- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to the review of the Highway Agency’s maintenance contracts. The Department for Transport (DfT) failed to respond to this request within the timescale for compliance and therefore breached the requirements of section 10(1) of the FOIA. However, the DfT has now referred the request to the Highways Agency (an executive agency of the DfT) who will be providing a response. As such the Commissioner does not require the DfT to take any steps.
