- Decision(s) EIR 12.5.a: Not upheld
The complainant has requested from High Speed Two Ltd (HS2) information about where woodchips produced by “de-vegetation” are sent to and later asked which companies were involved in this process. Although HS2 initially provided the requested information in response to the complainant’s first request and information regarding part of the second request, it withheld under regulation 12(5)(a)(public safety) the names of the companies the woodchips go to in order to generate electricity. The Commissioner’s decision is that HS2 has correctly cited regulation 12(5)(a). He does not require HS2 to take any further steps.
