The National Lottery Community Fund

Through a four part request, the complainant has requested monitoring information about the Archibald Corbett Community Library, Arts and Heritage Centre.  The National Lottery Community Fund (NLCF) addressed one part of the request, advised it does not hold information relevant to two parts and relied on section 21 of the FOIA (information accessible to applicant by other means) to withhold information relevant to the remaining part.  The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: NLCF has addressed questions 1, 2 and 4 satisfactorily and has complied with section 1(1) of the FOIA with regard to those questions. The information requested in question 3 is exempt information under section 21(1) of the FOIA as it is already reasonably accessible to the complainant by other means. The Commissioner does not require NLCF to take any remedial steps.
