The complainant requested information associated with meetings held within a specific timeframe.

The Commissioner considers that the council was correct to apply section 40(5B)(a)(i) FOIA to refuse to confirm or deny whether the requested information is held. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps. First-tier Tribunal (General Regulatory Chamber) Information Rights appeal EA/2023/0183 appeal dismissed.
