London Borough of Sutton Council

The complainant requested a range of information from the London Borough of Sutton (the ‘Council‘) relating to school age children. The Council advised that it did not hold recorded information for questions three and four. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council holds no recorded information relevant to the complainant’s request in questions three and four and has complied with section 1(1) of FOIA. However, by not responding within 20 working days following the date of receipt of the request, the Council breached section 10(1) of FOIA.The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
