The complainant requested a copy of a report on Newham Council's property licensing scheme. The Commissioner’s decision is that the London Borough of Newham (“the London Borough”) failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached Section 10 of the Freedom of Information Act (“the FOIA”). The Commissioner requires the London Borough to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a substantive response, under the FOIA, to the request.
