- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld
The requester asked for the full business case documents regarding a number of railway schemes. West Midlands Combined Authority (“WMCA”) failed to respond to the initial request but after follow up supplied copies of information it held in scope of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the WMCA has disclosed all the relevant information it holds in scope of the request. However, WMCA failed to respond within the timeframe to the initial request and failed to carry out an internal review (even when prompted by the Commissioner. Therefore, the Commissioner finds WMCA breached section 10 of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require WMCA to take any steps as a result of this decision.
