East Riding of Yorkshire Council

The complainant has requested specific information held by the council relating to Welcome to Yorkshire (WTY). The council said that it only holds information falling within the scope of the request on behalf of WTY rather than on its own behalf. It argued therefore that it does not hold any information for the purposes of its obligations under the FOI Act. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to find that it holds no information falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
