  • Date 23 February 2016
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) FOI 1: Upheld, FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 40: Not upheld

The complainant has requested information in relation to concerns he had raised with Quainton Parish Council, which explained that it did not hold any further recorded information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the complainant was asking for his own personal information and therefore that it should have been withheld under section 40(1) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner also considers that Quainton Parish Council has breached sections 1(3) (clarification of a request), 17(1) and 17(7) (refusal of a request). The Commissioner does not require Quainton Parish Council to take any steps as a result of this decision. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2016/0128 disposed of by consent order.
