Merseytravel

In a two part request, the complainant has requested information about loans and interest rates associated with the Mersey Tunnels.  Merseytravel has confirmed that it does not hold information related to part 1 of the request and has released some information related to part 2.  The complainant disputes that Merseytravel has released to him all the information it holds that is relevant to part 2 of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: On the balance of probabilities, Merseytravel has released to the complainant all the information it holds that falls within the scope of part 2 of the request.  Merseytravel complied with section 1(1) of the FOIA as, in its response and internal review, it confirmed that it holds some broadly relevant information which it then communicated to the complainant, and that it holds no further relevant information. The Commissioner does not require Merseytravel to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
