- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld
The complainant requested from Bristol City Council (the council) information about a questionnaire handed to individuals who were arrested following an incident related to the Colston Statue in Bristol. The council said that it does not hold the information as the questionnaire was created independently of the council, and relates to the activities of We Are Bristol History Commission (‘BHC’). The council said that it provides administrative services for BHC, however the questionnaire was created and used prior to the BHC being fully constituted. The council has never held it. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council does not hold the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
