- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant has requested information about marine pilotage and the Maritime Minister from the Department for Transport (DfT). The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, DfT doesn’t hold the information requested in parts 1 and 3 of the request and complied with section 1(1)(a) of FOIA. However, DfT breached section 10(1) of FOIA as it failed to comply with section 1 within 20 working days of receiving the request. It’s not necessary for DfT to take any corrective steps.
