- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 17: Upheld
The complainant requested copies of correspondence between Gas Safe Register and several named individuals during a particular period. The Health and Safety Executive disclosed a report with personal data redacted and stated that this was the only information it held. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the HSE has identified all the information it holds within the scope of the request. However, as the HSE failed to communicate the non-exempt information and failed to issue its refusal notice within 20 working days, it breached sections 10 and 17 of the FOIA respectively. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
