- Decision(s) FOI 1(1): Not upheld, FOI 10(1): Upheld
The complainant has requested information from the Department for Transport (“DfT”) in relation to all communication between the DfT and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency between 1 June 2015 and 31 October 2015. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the DfT does not hold the requested information. However, the DfT has breached section 10(1) of FOIA as it failed to respond to the request within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the DfT to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
