Allerdale Borough Council
- Date 11 October 2022
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld, EIR 13: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant has requested information regarding a public health investigation. The Commissioner’s decision is that Allerdale Borough Council was correct to withhold some information on the basis of regulation 13 (personal information) of the EIR; and that, on the balance of probabilities, it does not hold any further information in scope of the request. However it breached regulation 5(2) (time for compliance), because it provided some information later than the statutory 20 working day time period. The Commissioner does not require any steps.
