  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 43: Not upheld

The complainant requested information from Hampshire County Council (“the council”) relating to the consideration of a bid it had made. The council said that the information was exempt under section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the FOIA”) and the public interest did not favour disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information was correctly withheld. He found that the council had breached section 17(1) for failing to issue a valid refusal notice within 20 working days. He does not require any steps to be taken.
