The complainant has requested recorded information which relates to a loan made to Luneside East Ltd. The Council having initially refused to provide the complainant with information in reliance on section 43 of the FOIA, has subsequently relied on the provision of section 12 to refuse to comply with the complainant’s requests in their entirety. The Commissioner’s decision is that Lancashire County Council has correctly applied section 12 to the complainant’s requests. She has also decided that the Council has contravened section 16 of the FOIA by failing to provide the complainant with advice and assistance.
