- Decision(s) FOI 12: Not upheld
The complainant made a 28-part request for information relating to matters concerning British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS). FOS refused to comply with the request under section 12 FOIA as it said it would exceed the cost limit to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 12 FOIA was correctly applied to the request. FOS also complied with its obligations under section 16 FOIA by providing advice and assistance to the requester as to how the request could be refined. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
