- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.d: Not upheld
The complainant requested a copy of a report on travel proposals for a particular area. Swansea Council (the Council) withheld the information under regulation 12(4)(e) (internal communications). During the Commissioner’s investigation the Council withdrew reliance on regulation 12(4)(e) and stated that it was now relying on regulation 12(4)(d) (material in the course of completion) to withhold the information requested. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied regulation 12(4)(d) to the information. He does not require any steps to be taken.
