Lincolnshire County Council

The complainant has requested information about Lincoln Cathedral and arrangements for care of the Magna Carta. The above public authority denied holding some of the requested information and relied on section 31 of FOIA (law enforcement) to withhold the remainder. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the public authority does not hold the information requested by parts [1] to [5] of the request. In respect of part [6], he is satisfied that section 31 is engaged and that the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken.
