- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant requested information from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (“BEIS”) about supporting evidence and impact assessment for the “Choice on units of measurement: markings and sales” consultation. The Commissioner’s decision is that BEIS breached section 10(1) of FOIA by failing to provide a valid response to the request within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. As BEIS has requested clarification of the request, no steps are required. However BEIS is reminded that it should now provide a response to the clarified request within 20 working days.
