The complainant has requested a file transferred to the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI). At the time of issuing this decision notice PRONI had not provided the complainant with a substantive response to the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has failed to respond to the complainant’s request within the statutory timescale. The Commissioner requires the public authority to respond to the request, either by providing the requested information or by issuing a refusal notice.
