Transport for London

The complainant has requested information about The London Highways Alliance Contract (LoHAC). Specifically, he requested information such as the schedule of rates, lump sum arrangements and percentage adjustments (uplifts) for the four regions. TfL disclosed some information but withheld the remainder, citing section 43 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that TfL is correct to rely on section 43 of the FOIA for the non-disclosure of the remaining withheld information. However, she has noted that TfL failed to respond to the complainant’s request within 20 working days (and in fact took 12 months to respond to the first request) of receipt. The Commissioner has therefore found TfL in breach of section 10 of the FOIA in this case. The Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0081 refused.
