Welland and Deepings Internal Drainage Board
- Date 21 June 2019
- Sector Other
- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 8: Upheld
The complainant has requested the Welland and Deepings Internal Drainage Board (the board) to disclose details of any cost savings it has implemented since April 2013. The board was concerned the complainant was using a pseudonym and refused to comply with the request until the complainant provided a postal address. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was a valid request which met the requirements of section 8 of the FOIA. The board should therefore have responded to it within 20 working days. The board has since responded so no further action is required. The Commissioner has however recorded a breach of section 10 of the FOIA in this case.
