Kirby Muxloe Parish Council

The complainant requested information from Kirby Muxloe Parish Council (“the Council”). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council does not hold information within the scope of questions 1 and 2 of the request. However, he finds that the Council incorrectly applied section 21 of the FOIA to question 3 of the request. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Issue a fresh response to question 3 of the request which clearly confirms or denies whether the requested information is held. If the requested information is held, that information should either be disclosed, or the Council should provide an adequate refusal notice.
